its a bit of fun before we start---- over a few beers in cleethorpes at the weekend the p155 taking starts the topic you broke down no i never yes you did etc etc, so the question is what is classed as a break down a few below where chucked into the hat

you must have left your house and met with your riding companions.
more then 5 kicks to start the scoot
spanners out of the tool box (unless you state clearly just going to adjust something etc)
bump start required
puncture is debatable :?:
van required to get home

One lad who rides with us takes his panels off before entering the site, gives it all a clean and puts panels back on.

Does OCD class as a breakdown ?

breakdown is where bike cannot be fixed at roadside, everything else is an unscheduled stop.
