So much win
« on: 18 February 2014, 05:13:28 pm »
On way to the Starbucks to do some college work and I filter between lane 2 and 3 to the front of stationary traffic. Two panda police cars in lane three, who it seems were not impressed as he tried to fight me for lane three, can't of seen a bike before. Further up the road a pelican crossing goes to red so I slow to keep crawling and he almost goes into the back of me, then I spot a spanner on the road and go to the right of it thinking ill miss it, nah Fuck it, stop swipe in the pocket and I filter away. Only a 12mm ratchet spanner! Going under the seat it is!

Top it off I got 5 shots of espresso for the price of 4 :D

Result! And a ratchet one too  :D

I was getting the mickey taken out of me at the pub the other day because when a mate passed me my jacket a whole load of nuts and bolts fell out of various pockets.

When asked " WTF!? " I explained that I find them on the road and collect them.

Apparently this is not normal behaviour.

But I bet I have a better spare nuts and bolts jar than the norms!  :)

So what was the panda car doing while you was picking the spanner up?

You sir are much more flexible than me to be able to pick that up without getting off the bike...

Good observation skills and fine bike balance while picking up the spanner   :thumbup , although I'm a little surprised you didn't pick it up on the move  :) .


Nice to have the video to show clearly the whole event, just a pity you didn't do a wheelie away from the pandas  :evil .[size=78%] [/size]

I once found a 3 foot long breaker bar. I use it for the car wheel nuts and for doing the bike chain.
Sent from my villa in the South of France.
