three times I have been there -
the first time was to pick up my 400, i took it to the tescos to fill up, and then it wouldnt turn over - being new to bikes i didnt know how to bump it, and it took me ages to get it going, during which I dropped my phone in the process and it died - got pissed through wet on the ride back, then got pulled over by the cops at about 11pm 20 mins from home for not having valid insurance ( i did have but it wasnt on their system)
the second time my GPS put me through the now pedestrian town centre, i got pulled by the cops again and breathalised / ticked off for going down the pedestrian zone (but luckily let off as they knew that gps's hadn't been updated and were still sending people down there)
and then this weekend my 306 blew up in the euro car park there, pissing coolant everywhere, it took me 3 hours, a roll of gaffer tape, 20 odd litres of water, an old tshirt and a lot of evil glaring from the misses to get home - what a nightmare !
