Who yanked your chain today?
Just life in the new North Korea & memories of being in a free country when I could ride my bike places when I wanted too.

Hooli spouts bollocks because drunken Italians wired up his brain using a 1979 Fiat Strada wiring loom that they found in the sea.
On the road:
1998 Disco 4.0 V8 (manual)
1994 Vauxhall Calibra 3.0 V6

Running but need fettling:

1986 Honda CBX750F
1991 Maserati 222 SE
1990 Yamaha XJ900F

Tax & MOT-exempt, woohoo!

1982 Suzuki GSX1100SZ Katana

I once completely rewired a friends Ducati 860 having discovered that there was nearly six metres of cable between the battery and the headlamp bulb.
The headlamp photons just about had the strength to drop out of the headlamp and fall off the front mudguard.

Now if the Italians could fit that length of wiring into a bike, just imagine the voltage drop by the time it gets to Hooli's brain ! :shock:

Speedo broke on my 14 today, it appears to be the sensor that's failed.

I've located a second hand one in Donny that I should be able to get tomorrow for £30 to resolve it. They are £120 new so I'd want to try another to prove it first if I was buying new.

To update that, the 2nd hand sensor has fixed it.

Oddly enough, despite being the same part number the sensor varies from £30 to £70 depending which bike you look it up for. So I bought it for a GSXR600 as they are all the same.
