Morning traffic

I'm caged. The bike is in itty little bitty pieces, lots of em. Frame has been welded now, and re-inforced, properly i'm told. Or at least as good as is possible. The alloy is a tricksy barstard, so we'll have to see if it works. 

So ... nissan 1400 agricultural implement, with me inside. 

So imagine my surprise when i try clear the ice off the car window, with luke warm water, and it freezes instantly. i'm talking 5 seconds here. That was fun. I saw a military convoy, 8 APC's carrying about 8 guys each. Followed by an ambulance. I loved that bit ... someone is going to get hurt. And then there was the delightful metro double cab bakkie idling along the yellow lane pulling people out the traffic, seemingly at random. Thrills. 

My 2 biker buddies passed me, the gold wing and the red kawa ... *sigh* until i get the bike back together it's going to be hell.

peace

At least you weren't skidding down William Nicol on your back.
At least one biker was, this morning.
Love,

Yes, the thought did cross my mind ;-)
There's a good news 24 article on it, but yes, cold enough to freeze water instantly, when i tried cleaning the windshield this morning. Water leaking across the road? I know several places like that ... :(
peace :D
