Strange one today. Pulled up to the pumps to fill my bike. Flipped the face of my helmet, opened the tank cap and started filling the bike while sitting on the bike. After a few seconds I think I looked around to the pump display but must have twisted my body a little without noticing.
The next thing I know I've been sprayed with a good lash of petrol- at least a mug full. I think I must have squashed the mouth of the nozzle up against some of the gubbins on the inside of the tank something akin to squeezing the end of a garden hose. Suffice to say I got mouth, ear and eye full of petrol
My skin started burning straight away and my eye just started stinging beyond belief. My brother was nearby and ran to get help from the garage staff who broke out the eye wash. I had no idea if it was going to be detrimental to my eye but luckily after about five minutes the stinging began to subside. It improved from there and after about half an hour I felt okay to ride. My eye has felt a little dry all day but I'm sure there's no damage done.
I hope you can all have the benefit of my moment of idiocy, folks- if you can't pump petrol without going all Zoolander on it, I advise seeking the help of a grownup:p0 -

A bit off the recent topic being discussed but I went over to Wales on the ferry yesterday and must've met every Honda Goldwing in Europe !! either on the ferry or in Wales itself, must've passed at least 100 If not more.. Any idea as to where they were all off too? Any of the riders I met in the ferry didn't speak English but I noticed a few UK and Irish reg bikes in the convoy out of Fishguard . I'd love to go have a look at them if they're going somewhere local this weekend. Its a bike I aspire to own in my senior years
There was some beautiful examples in the convoy with most pulling trailers and others with trailers and sidecar.
Can't imagine what they're like to ride fully loaded....0 -

Why do they have trailers? What are they bringing with them?!
Id imagine that they are carrying camping gear etc. Not 100% sure.
I know some of these are 1800 cc but you do have to wonder what kind of power they'd have with a side car and a trailer?? Beautiful bikes all the same.
Here is a pic of one that I got on the ferry, most of them had trailers with them though:
And here is a pic of some of them waiting to get on the ferry:

It's one stereotype that is determined to always ring true. Whenever my brother sees something like this he always says "do you have to be a sociopath to drive a BMW or do you have to drive a BMW to be a sociopath?". He says it a lot
