I cannot win.

Sorry to vent, but i feel the need.

This week has been the crappest on record for a long time, with my grandma passing away and the ensuing family member bitching, and then today to top it all off, my bike catches fire.
I had a good 3 or 4 minutes of billowing smoke and up to 4 inch flames coming from under the tank (near the carbs). Thankfully it didnt go boom.
Im about to go look to see why in a short while.

*grumble*.

My condolences Fiver.Sometimes live just gets a hard-on for you and won't let up.
It'll get better, but in the meantime keep plugging away mate. All the best.

That's tough mate. Condolences about your Gran, it's such a shame when family feuds start over tragic circumstances.

The bike, well, it's just a bike...it'll still be there waiting to be fixed when all the family stuff has settled out.

Or, it can give you something to focus on unstead of the bitching.

Chin up, take it easy and don't stress - you know it's not good for you!

sorry to hear of your loss mate, you can trust families to cause aggro over little things at times like those.

The bike was built with passion unfortaunately that doesnt make them reliable.

As bad luck comes in threes best break a match soon.

Keep your chin up and enjoy fettling your pride and joy, its 50% of what owning a Ducati is all about.
