Thankfully in Krnov and not somewhere along the long ride from the UK was when my motorcycle key decided to break from metal fatigue after 24 years of use.  I found out on going to buy petrol and finding the key would not go in to the petrol cap lock. 

Thankfully the broken-off piece was still in the ignition barrel so the bike could be started  by turning the remaining stub.  To cut a long story short, a local locksmith made a new key for the fuel cap and seat locks from what he could feel when picking the former – which he had open in a few seconds flat.  This job was easy for him, as became apparent when he showed me a car boot of immaculately organized specialist tools for picking even the most advanced locks.  At a later date in the UK I will conduct the very involved job of sorting out the ignition lock.

What better job to do whilst waiting for the key than get things clean and shiny with the best jet wash I have ever used; piping hot water and washing fluid had grime dissolved ready to be rinsed straight off.  I was lent a paddock stand so cleaning, waxing and adjusting the chain was easy too as well as checking the rear tyre for cuts or other damage.
