Missing person.

Post by SPRIDDLER »

Resto Ray has reported Mel's disappearance:

Ray: My wife is missing. She went out yesterday and has not come home...

Police Sergeant: What is her height?

Ah, I'm not sure. A little over five-feet?

Sergeant: Weight?

Can't say for sure. Not slim, not really fat.

Sergeant: Colour of eyes?

Sort of brown I think.

Sergeant: Colour of hair?

Changes a couple times a year. Maybe dark brown now.

Sergeant: What was she wearing?

Could have been jeans, or maybe a skirt or shorts.

Sergeant: What kind of vehicle did she go in?

She took one of my motorbikes.

Sergeant: What kind of motorbike was it?

Ray, (sobbing): "A 1964 Matchless G15/45 CSR in Damask Red with 16,486 miles on the clock, chrome tank badges and locking petrol cap, stainless wheel rims and spokes, new 4.00 x 19 Mitas HD4 rear tyre, Leightons dualseat, high-rise American 'bars, ball ended levers, Boyer BY 776/H ignition, Lucas SR1 magneto with Brightspark condenser, Amal 379/5 2" monobloc carb, 380 main jet and chromed T.T. bellmouth, and it's due for an oil change...……...".

A G15/45 with both Boyer ignition and SR1 magneto? Ray must be really worried about his wife to get so confused! 😉

It's his age, Clive.
He's also confused with the difference between self-isolation and self-humiliation.

Why is everybody laughing, that sounds like a great bike. I would be livid.
If it ain't broke, fix it till it is. ;)
