Only did about 60-80 miles - up the A38 and back down the A46
But, for the first time since ownership, the thou forced me to the side of the roadThe gear selector came away from the mechanism - the bolt holder it on to the engine decided to make a bid for freedom. Thankfully had a few basic tools under the seat so was able to re-attach it and get myself home
I did pretty much the same this afternoon. Left work at 2.00 into gorgeous sunshine, so just had to go home via the scenic route. What's usually 20 mins between J5 and J2 of the M6 ended up as 2 1/2 hours from Castle Brom, up the A38 to Burton-on-Trent and down the A444 back to Coventry. Oddly enough it took me past my old test centre and along my Mod 2 route. Can you get nostalgic after only 9 months?

Broken, bruised, forgotten, sore,
too fucked up to care any more.
