A mystery solved

#1 Post by Aladinsaneuk » Sun Apr 21, 2013 5:11 pm

As regular folk know, there was recently a near calamity at Hobbit Towers - no, not when the stilts were found to be infested with woodworm , but when the Hobbit Sergeant Majors Mille burst into flames....

The truth will out....

Some folk will remember that the instructions for Evo/renegade air kits always tell you to remove the FLAMABLE buffer pad that is glued underneath the tank?

And some will even recall the advice for cleaning filters - ie cold water etc.. Z but not soap as when that dries out it does become quite FLAMABLE

apparently the flames were a lovely blue and green...

*****
I did say the piss would be taken mate ;)


Let's face it, you wouldn't go to a nurse to get good advice on a problem with a Falco - you'd choose an Engineer or a mechanic...

he bought it elsewhere probably took it back with him without realising what it was... i was more surprised to find that they knew what fire was :smt003
For the avoidance of doubt and for the benefit of my wife, not everything I may say here will be absolutely true I may on ocassion embellish a little for effect.
That said when it comes to motorbikes, I like to ride side saddle with a nice frock
