So beautiful southeast queensland day, sun is shining lovely ride west to gatton to pick some mower parts up. Stopped for fuel in town before returning home..... Key on... Nothing and I meaning nothing.... Investigate oh I see, the battery lug decided it didn't want to live connected to the battery any longer..... Well boys and girls this further proves zip ties are the best invention of all time... As some of you know my shit box is held together with the little blighters so I happen to carry a handful of them. One ball point pen from the little servo, two zip ties and a jump start down the hill I was lucky enough to be on my way... Well after the locals looked at me funny as I rode the wrong way up the foot path with no seat or helmet to retrieve said items....

Zip ties are the modern replacement for a roll of coat hanger wire.

Had thought of it boys but decided the push start every time I want to ride might be somewhat inconvenient lol

Zip ties are nice, but I don't think you're giving the pen enough credit.

True true, but only it used cause it was the first thing I could think of to use..... That or is going to buy a ice cream and use the stick lol
I'll give it a heroes death as it lives out the rest of its days doing service in my workshop as short as that normally is in there lol

As I never seen or held a bag of weed I can nether confirm nor deny said simulates.......
To those that know me, yes I did manage to say that with a straight face and yes I'm as surprised as you ......
