and the idiot worker was washin the bike with a fat hoseand shortly after i tried to start and no spark so took the plug out and cranked it and lots of water came shootin out for awhile, i could see it flowin in the hole where the plug goes in

This morning I locked myself out of my house. I realised I had my bike key, the remote for the alarm system and nothing else. I couldnt even open the gate as the remote for the gate was inside and the lock was on the motor so I couldnt open it manually.
So i figure WTF now. I see the key fro the pedestrian gate in the garage, which is just wide enough for a bike, but the base of it is like 15 cm of the ground. I get wood and build a ramp, duck down not to take my head off and ramp it, dropping off the other side.
I go to the local hardware as they have a key and lock section. They tell me they have no mobile unit, but one of the darkies working there tells me he can pick locks (inherent trait I think). He has no transport and I tell him I only have my bike as cant get my bakkie out of the garage. So he agrees to go on the bike. No helmet nothing. He much shorter than me, but quite fat. He has never been on a bike before so i have to explain put your feet on the pegs, sit still etc.
He was terrfied once I hit open road. Every time I accelerated he would cling on tight for dear life Laughing I yelled back you scared? He said, very scared baas. Laughing And I never went over 80 kmh. He battled to get off the high pillion seat, being so short
Anyway, he ended up drilling out my lock and putting a new one in. Charged me R250. About £18. And the lock another R120.
He was still terrfied when I took him back, but when he got back to work he said it was really great and he wishes he could get a bike. he said he sees why people ride bikes now. Luckily I took him on the bmw. When he saw the KTM towering in the garage he said he doesnt want to go on that. It is too high Laughing He just asked me how fast can they go Laughing
Lol, never thought I would ever have a darkie pillion. Just my kids, girlfriends, and at a pinch a bike mate stuck.
