Enjoying a loooong weekend (Ascension Day on thursday so might as well take the friday off   Posted Image ), my brother suggested going for a day's ride.

Well it turned out half a day, cos when walking into his garage, he thought there was was white bird poo on his rear tyre.

Euhh.....  not!!!

So first we had to find a tyre shop, so that took us most of the morning.

Good there was a market nearby for some more blackness

And yes, black is beautifull

So we pressed on, heading into Noord Brabant, we we saw some unusual sights....

Looking in my rear view mirror it looked like my brother kept his leg hanging out, but I realised it was his muffler....
The shop had done a piss poor job at reassembling it after having swapped the tyre   :pissed:


We spottted a truckers garage and they showed us their room full of nuts&bolts so job done in no time   :fing02:

Are those new brake pads???  Yes, cos my brother who NEVER checks anything was 1 mil away from bare metal ruining his disc.
So he was lucky that his rear tyre wore out when it did so the mechanic could spot it...



and having to cross a river one has to wait for the ferry and take in the sights!   Posted Image
