Don't ride over to Leicester with your son for his Part 1 motorcycle test on 5th December.
When you get there you will find it has been cancelled as it was "too icy"
You will also find they rang his mobile to tell him this - but only when we were already halfway there and, of course, didn't notice the call as we were riding.

If you are soldering wires, do not grab hold of the wires you have just soldered. They will be hot.

It's the V-twin thing. There's just something about it that inline-4s don't have at all, and V-4s don't have enough of.

When you are short of soldering irons at work and you and a colleague need to use one at the same time, don't assume that just because you are right handed and he is left handed that you can both share the same iron in complete safety.

Don't pour caustic soda down your front unless you want to be pink, puffy and hairless.
And from my sister. Make sure there are no cats in the washer before you turn it on. Unless you want a really pissed off (but very soft and fluffy) cat.
