    Broke down on way back from FCS :(

    Just got on the M1 on the way back from fcs when my engine cut out so I had to pull over and hard shoulder and wait for the AA while watching everyone else go home...inc Fatboy . To cut a long story short the AA recovery truck bloke towed me off the motorway but did not put the handbrake all the way off...so when we finally stopped the rears discs were smoking badly and the wheels were as hot as ****! stupid twat! Will be ringing the AA up tomorrow to get them to pay for my new discs and pads I think. When "proper engineer" actually came along he found out that a wire had melted on my manifold causing a fuse to blow and cut the engine out...so it was a fairly easy fix!
