    Lost count of the times ive got on the bike, popped the helmet on, stuck the gloves on, velcroed all the pockets down etc etc. Sat waiting with the bike running then realise that the engine sounds a bit weird. Look down and there are my earplugs underneath the clip on the tank filler. Earplugs. Sodding things.

    Adjusting Chains. I know it's easy, I know it's quick but still it's a pain in the backside

    Drivers who see you filtering and move out to block you. We're allowed to do it, just accept that we're more agile that you!

    Just to add,

    Can't say I hate any of those things. Even the rain.

    My biggest bug is being passed too close by idiotic Sunday Johnnies riding too fast. Is dangerous to everyone and what for??? The extra 0.1 of a second it'll save you before having to slow for the next car. Really?

    And if you watch the videos on youtube they are mostly self righteous twats... Really puts wasps up my arse!

    I had similar a few years ago. Bike sounded horrid...I'd left my helmet in the central library on top a bookcase.
    I only have one vice…I lie.
