So apparently there's a football match on, now that means the roads will be empty. So I figure now is the time to let a Blackbird engine do its thing, while still attached to a bike.
Pops in to say hi to mother, mother nips out to get some milk in her tuppaware box (Romahome) and promptly reverses over my bike.
Not just a knock over but a 'hmmm, might have a flat tyre, i'll give it some throttle'

Anyone out there using a candy red blackbird as their doner, panels and tank required.

Family eh! who needs enemies.

Off to pub now to get drunk with the rest of the country

Thats why we/my wife & i, got my mother-in-law to give up driving.
Apparently she'd make a good taxi driver because she never get tired and driving is not tiring.

(edit) P.S. I hope you get sorted mate cos it really aint funny. My dad decided one day to go out in one my car and he thought he had a flat tyre. So when he got it out of the drive he got out to look at the tyre. Nothing appart from a large dent where he had been having an argument with the 18"square hard wood gate post.

hehe... was a little 'strained' for a while. Then I felt guilty for shouting at her and informing her she's a bloody liability and shouldn't be let behind a wheel.

Scary thing is, I can run it through the insurance, (hers or mine) but its very close to being a write off
