DangerRuss58 Posted November 30, 2023 Share Posted November 30, 2023 Yesterday I dragged the bike out of the garage again my brilliant wife had a day off and the weather was cracking so I decided to go on a ride out with the group of ex pats that I have been out with a hundred times in the past , so I managed 310 km and boy I couldn't move this morning lol It had been a while since I had ridden the twisites around the Costa Blanca and I have to admit I had a bit of a boo boo my foot slipped off the brake pedal and I missed the corner went down and along a concrete drainage ditch nearly hit a concrete post I managed to just miss it and steer the bike back on to the road where I had to stop for a wee moment or two until my heart started working again. 8 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was surprised that this £50K car doesn't have heated mirrors, could have done with them last night. Had to go and help my clinician last night with and End of Life patient who had a fall, very sad. Then had to escort a drug addict out of the Hospital later. Interesting shift. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

On some cars they're not linked to the rear window heater and you have to switch it on manually on the door card button. Edit: VWs is usually where you adjust the mirrors, toggle to select left, right, or heater on 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
