Ode to the Well-Used Bike

If your featherweight carbon is dormant
And your sedentary Dura's not 'Ace'

Not the right one?

No, not The One. Zathras says not The One.

The Jaffa Cakes have disappeared.

Well, you had to take your frustration at Google out on something...

I bet the Gauloises sales forecast went up in smoke.

No, the photo is the right way round alright, but it's the wrong photo.

The one I'm looking for is the same view as the pencil drawing - should have Mobil 1 hoardings in the background.

Andrea de Cesaris, Brabham BT56 BMW, 1987. That looks rather like Silverstone to me.

No. Just my brain catching up with me as to where I think it is.

You think an event, that happened in '87 is in the '87 yearbook. Used to be printed looking forward.

Which airport are you in?

None. I’ve spent the last 21.5 hours of my life in a chicken factory in deepest darkest Hungary. Now back in my room stark naked drinking warm lager whilst a gentle breeze blows over my....
