In shock.....

I am in shock and really cannot believe this.

Today I spent much of the day sorting out number one sons bike.

Basically it had been upended and there was oil every where.

So having spent for ever sorting out the various dings and what have you, so this afternoon I had a "good dad" moment as he came through the door to see his bike all assembled and waiting for him .

Pinching his mums lawn mower petrol, filling the bike with best semi synthetic and away we went.

It started straight away, I took it for a quit blat round the fields then handed it over to the man in question.

He had a good half hour driving round the fields was looking really good, displaying his natural skill on anything that goes brum brum then, completely out of the blue he fell off the bike.

Nothing bad there, but in a complete fluke one in a million, the bike landed awkwardly and smashed the crankcase. For the non technical thats serious in a rebuild the whole thing sort of way.

This run of luck is starting to get to me!!
