well yes another great ride - and one where I got more than I bargained for - although as always a great learning
the bike is now well and truly ensconced at boltons with a view to a recovery this saturday - and after a bit of a look on sunday appears the issue was the "button behind the button" on the electic start was also broken - hence the issue - but brad - i have also asked for a new spark plug, a removal of the cutouts and the replacement with the various cable ties with something more akin to what came with the bike {michael i'll get the rim locks when the tyres are next done - at this stage about a fortnight!]
also sincere thanks to all for the patience and good humour, to michael , simon, fred [and one or two others - names escape me] for the assistance with the bike - and also to jarrod for the tow out - now the ride itself was great but in parts paled into insignificance compared to being towed down the main road at 65km an hour
[with no apparent control]
now to get through a day at cobaw with Mat on the 28th....
finally thanks to Brad for leading and arranging the ride and Marls who can always be counted on to come up with a flattering photo......
