Heard a lovely story about an old timer who came across a fully leathered up young motorcyclist on a cold deserted road vainly trying to start new motorbike.
The old guy knew a trick or two and demonstrated how the carb can be de-iced with a suitably directed wee (well we all used to do it!).
Young motorcyclist very thankfull and a few days later old timer gets a thank you letter from mototcyclist's dad expressing also his thanks to the person who got his daughter out of trouble one cold night.
True story....
