Thanks guys

At Jess’ tonight but once I get home I’ll do a good session of remediation work and hopefully it’ll come good.

Still toying with the idea of downsizing a bit.

No real reason other than I fancy a change.

Still after a touring style bike? Or more on the adventure side?

I just fancy a Street Triple RS.

I don't in all honesty see the point in just adding another bike to what i have as i wouldn't have the time to use it.

We'll see. Its been something going round in my head for a while after i rode one.

You know my thoughts about that bike.

Do it.

I hope you are alright tonight/ tomorrow. Hope you get to relax and no issues with yourself as that's the main thing. As for the bike it's a shame but pretty certain with your experience and knowledge you will make it right again. Let us know how it goes

Come and ride mine again, then you'll definitely want one

You are not helping at all...either of you.

I'll be totally honest and say its the ONLY bike i have ridden in the last few years that has made me consider something else.

Jeez, today must have been day release for dick head driver university...

I nearly got taken out 4 times today, twice by people deciding that my side of the road was fine to use to pass parked cars even though I was using it at the time. The special one was the range rover who rewrote the rule book and turned right into a junction I was turning left onto at the same time, she then have me a look and shook her head as if it was my fault...

So did some body remediation and calmed down the nerve pain and numbness a fair bit.

Go down to the GB to start fault finding.

Disconnect the hose from the fuel tap and prove flow from normal and reserve settings. Ok, like I thought, wasn’t fuel. Both flowing fine.

Must be ignition. Start basic. Key on, check kill switch..... oh there it is, I bumped the kill switch off with my numb hand (god knows how!!)

Flick it back on, fuel on, choke on, first kick, fires into life

You muppet.!

Still, from a positive perspective, thankfully it's not a complicated issue to be identified.

I think we've all done something similar in the past !!

Like leaving the fuel tank switch on OFF...

At least you didn't get to Silverstone and forget your leathers and license

Haha we've all done that Kiwi

Glad it wasn't anything else and now sorted

Rolled the bike out of the garage at 7am into perfect sunshine

Woke all the neighbours up and rode off

Guilty as charged. My exact words when I found it was “you f**king muppet!!”

Yes I talk to myself a lot
