When for a ride yesterday to one of our favorite haunts Mt Glorious.
Its a great ride with loads of twistes.

It was one of those bizzare rides - you know - weird things keep happening...

A taxi who would only go at 40 k's, but not let anyone past.

While about to enter a blind right hander with a huge group of cyclists flying downhill (we ride on the left!) One decided to be completely in my lane - very nearly a head on which wouldn't of been pretty.

Then while at the top one of the group (who was also having 'one of those days') tapped Audrey (my GTS) while parking. I said to the nameless rider (who is a good friend!) 'Your a bit close - you tapped me'

Then I realised that her exhaust was still resting on the only noticable plastic body part on the GTS (End of the foot plate) Melting it, my rubber mat & what I thought was a chrome strip (It seams to have a thick plactic covering)

Fortunatly she knows how much care and attention Audrey gets - so when parts arrive she'll be back to 100%

Sorry to hear about this. I hope the insurance is the other riders not yours? Knowing me I would have been a we bit upset, and said something I would have regretted later.
Glad to hear it is getting fixed, Beale.
