You couldn't lift the battery out of a X308, it's bigger than your dog!

I somehow got talked into joining in with a toy run to Barnsley hospital this evening even though I don't do such things. It was actually quite funny to have lass dressed as en Elf pillion while blocking traffic on the run, I'm not sure what some of the drivers thought of an Elf swearing & making obscene gestures at them when they tried to force their way past me...

Anyway you can just glimpse me in this vid if you know what you're looking for




EDIT: Oh, I didn't know FB video links auto embedded, this place must be run by a genius.

I scored very low on the autie test. I’m cheerful, happy, confident, like meeting new people, chatty and largely sociable. What the fuck am I doing on this forum?

Just gone out to start the trike. Never had issues with it before but it seemed to not want to fire. Then there was an almighty bang and the battery signaled its death throes. Great.

Blimey! There’s good luck, bad luck and there’s Bub luck. Hope you get it sorted.
