Swear to god, last day riding the v irago the speedo cable snapped, then I got a flat tyre. The 'nice' motorbike cops in Pearse st garda station told me to get out of the way when I pushed it over to get some help and then on the way home I started to run out of petrol. The bike barely chugged to the nearest petrol station.
