Sorry I didn't make it Mort...
I was going to borrow Monty's bike and had it all lined up when Fordie called and said it looked as if we'd be riding up into all the sleet and snow that was forecast for Saturday, and that it'd probably be getting late by the time we got home. I don't mind riding in sleet or snow (as long as it's not settled on the roads), and I don't mind riding in the dark.
But...
I'm just too bone idle to have washed Monty's bike down in the cold and dark.

"Jools, you could've ridden it through all the sleet and snow, got it covered in a nice crust of salt and just handed it back to Monty"
Jools: "Damn, why didn't I think of that"
