Thanks for the replies... Main 30A fuse is good. All other fuses good. Nothing blown. I've pulled off and cleaned all the connectors I can see, and there is no corrosion. (AA man also did this, and removed the clock module - will I lose my mileage record?) I've now noticed the ignition lights (oil p...

Just got in from recovery by AA from Grantham to home. Out enjoying the sun, stopped for a fag break, bike re-started, ran 100 yards and died. No electrics at all, nothing. Battery showing a good 12v, regulator gone? Any ideas welcome, it's too late now to start stripping it down tonight, but I'll n...

a lot of elderly people on the forum who can't/won't do facebook, there are a small renegade group of us that are on f/b tho, it wouldn/t be a bad idea. Hey, that's rampant ageism ! "...a lot of elderly people on the forum who can't/won't do facebook..." Listen here young man, I'm old and...

What to look for when you pick it up? - Open road, blue skies, riding on the right

Do the CCT mods - every owner has a responsibility to preserve parts, don't let your engine die.

Went for a blast to keep it charged.
Cold but fun. The cold dense air, rich in oxygen, pushes up volumetric efficiency and your engine feels great. 1 hour was enough to get my fix.

Go to JTS Biker Clothing in Coalville and try some on. They'll even let you (encourage you!) to go outside and sit on your bike to try them in a riding position. I did this with a view to then buying off the internet once I knew the size, but they were so good and did me a good deal I bought from th...

Does this now mean the weather in July will be sh1t?
Put me down, on the list that is, not in the vetinary sense.

I'm still hanging on in there, hoping to go, but I can't see it happening with heavy snow forecast for Friday.
I'll decide on Friday night I guess. sh1t

Fitted the hugger I bought of Leevtr - Was red, now is a very shiny black
Was going to 'test' it but it's started to snow...

I believe they used to tip the wings of the doodlebugs to change their course to somewhere less populated.

Write me down for this one!
By a combination of craft and guile I've got the day off and a pass from the missus!

Phwoor! who's she? - Got a number? She seeing anyone?

Was at Grantham Honda yesterday at about 2:00pm. It was a last minute thing, wife went out, sun came out, so I went out. 100miles, lots of bikes few cars, big fun. There were not many at GH though, but I had a look at the new Honda Integral (I think it's called that anyway) Looks like a replacement ...

+1 on that !

Took it out of the shed,
Smelt it,
Over to garage,
filled it,
Ear plugs in,
Rode it

Then home, washed, leathered and put away. Great day!
