Well I went to Warrington this afternoon and bought my T3, I also bought a trip computer and a bottle and bottle rack, all was duly set up for me and the lad in the store asked me if I was riding it home, I said no am I balls lol, although its only 10 miles home I didn't want that kind of first ride, way too much traffic when I don't know the bike yet...
Well the missus decided she wanted to go to The Range Warehouse on our way back, it's only across the road from Decca so no probs I say, whilst in their we pick up 2 'non foldable' garden chairs!! Not thinking for one second were we are gonna put em in the car, we have a quasqai so reasonably big with seats down, well there's no way they were gonna fit in there with my bike as well!!
I then said there's nothing else to it except I'll have to ride it home (are they he's or she's), the missus wasn't to happy cos she said I'm not use to the bike and I'm unfit lol, I said we have no choice so off I went, incorrect clothing, incorrect trainers, blazing sunshine, no water!!
I then realised no one in the store had shown me how to change the gears, I tried moving levers and ended up in a situation were the gears seemed to be changing themselves, this seemed to stop after I had another fiddle, well I got about half way home on a busy road when I heard a ping and a clatter, I looked at my handlebars and my trip computer had gone, I then heard the sickening crunch behind me as the car following drove straight over it, I went back for it and it was totally trashed...
Anyway I got home without further incident, as all this put me off?? As it hell....
