Thank bollocks it's the bank holiday

Well, yes and no. I'm totally ready for a weekend just doing nothing at all, but what I really should be doing is fixing the bike. Seems like it isnt just a little nick in the wire, since that has now been all cleaned and taped up, yet no power running at all. Battery is slowly losing charge, but still should be enough to light up the sodding neutral light, so it looks like there are either some major problems elsewhere. I'm damned if I know what to do, since I'm a total nonce at this business. I really, really dont want to have to fork out a load of money to have someone look at it, but I may go slightly insane if tied to doing a 4 mile round-trip walk every day along a bloody main road (:-(((((

But what's worse is the idea of being ever-so-slightly isolated. I may have to investigate the bus options come next week, since I clearly wont be back on the road by then. Or even the week after that. I get the inkling that I will indeed be forking out a load for a fixing, it's all bloody annoying. Perhaps it's almost better to trade in for something new (well, new to me even if a couple of years old) every year just to save on this hassle. But I dont really mean that. I mean, this wont have lasted me 2 years and that's just ridiculous.

What I need more, perhaps, is just back-up. But then running 2 bikes and keeping them ticking without the use of a garage is hardly any better than running 1 and being totally shot in the foot like I am now it's knackered. What's worse is the emotional angst I've got over the whole thing; it's an inconvenience, yes, but I seem to have totally lost all perspective over it. I'm useless at coping.

Like I say, thank bollocks it is the bank holiday and I can hopefully kick back and enjoy it. I'm going to miss riding like hell. Totally addictive, not sure I can give it up.......
