'Twas a beautiful sunny morning & I thought to myself "I will go to work on the bike today"
Dropped the ankle-biters off at school and set off for a 9.30 meeting.
About 5 miles down t'road, a misfire then the bike died completely. The clocks pirouetted & the lights did their usual on off trick when the ignition was turned on but the starter just gave a limp click. :(
AA arrived, a few checks & the bike's only producing 8 volts so not charging the battery. AA guy reckons it's the regulator under the seat that's duff. Bikes currently on it's way to Italia at Lincoln to be mended under warranty.
Big up to Ian (the patrolman) and the AA massive!!! He was excellent, careful & considerate & a biker himself. Top marks! :)
Hope I get the bike back for Sunday's rideout! :mad:
