Sat nav's killed it lol,
It is an enjoyable read, but some of it delves deep into a depressive lonely mind which was quite hard to read tbh, but I think that was just from a similar point of view, it can be a very lonely job and if anything is on your mind on distance work it just screws you cause you just go over conversations and possible what ifs in your own mind for hours at a time!
But, I remember my first proper distance job down to Dorset, I was on a loan fz6 and got a puncture a quarter of a mile away from the delivery, it was about 8.30 at night, luckily it was a private address, I nursed it there (loan bike so I didn't give a toss about damaging tyres/ wheels) didn't have any recovery, I ended up staying the night in their spare bedroom, after many phonecalls to the bike shop the next morning sorted somewhere to get it fixed and headed back to London.
Some say...
