Here's the first one:
How can the black dye in leather gloves be soluble enough in rain water to come out of the gloves and onto your hands, .. yet stops being soluble in tap water when you try to wash the bloody stuff off?
Just a thought :shock:

Sounds very familiar! :lol:
Another one is when you are using a cargo net or bungee and you've a lack of hands trying to balance your cargo and fasten it on at the same time.........one of the hooks manages to fasten itself round something very obscure and inaccessible.
If you tried to do this yourself on purpose.....you'd never achieve it ever!

Or when you drop one of the screws that holds the fairing on (value 50p)and you can't find it anywhere on the garage floor. Then 3 weeks later you find it sitting on the engine casing when you clean the bike. How did it stay there even though you've done 500 miles on the motorway?

Alright, so why is it that if you leave your wallet (which is twenty times heavier than the screw)on the roof of the car, it blows off as soon as you reach 2mph?

Why have I spent 3 years washing my Caberg Helmet in the bath and drying it for 3 days over a radiator, .. and then have my 11 y/o daughter say, .. 'hey Dad,.. this lining looks like it's actually detachable'?

Why do they bother selling croutons in sealed plastic bags, when they are just bits of stale bread :roll:
=======================
They advertise some mineral water as being made from million-year-old glacial water, and bottle it with a 6 month "use-by" date :roll:

Looks like they just got it bottled in time :?

If I am ever on life support - Unplug me......
Then plug me back in..........

See if that works .....

Why do the otherwise perfect zips and press studs become jammed when you've finally made it to the porcelain? :cry:

Why does your reserve light come on when you've just passed a srvice area on the motorway and the next one isn't for 50 miles? :shock:

Why do you always get a monstrous big nail in a brand new tyre the same day as you've had it fitted?

....and why do you seem to have a interface with car or drop the bike after you've just spent a load of money on it?!
