The indicators on my red C90 only work if you rev the engine. I charged the battery a couple of weeks ago and they were fine but they've gone back to faulty again now.

No different from their car design then.

No but I didn't lose either due to strong used prices, the WBAB offer matched the PCP settlement (well almost its cost me 90 quid) usually at 20 months into a 37 month contract you'd be in negative equity, so I'm not moaning as I've saved almost £2k by selling and clearing the finance rather than keeping it if that makes sense.

I've had 5 bikes on PCP now but this will be the last, it's nice having a brand new bike but if you scratch it or drop or you're fucked, plus the milage limits are too low, its also annoying paying for it for the 6 months of winter and not using it, I'll probably pick up something next year to replace it.

I was coming home from Claim_Intends gaff today and pull into a petrol station in Ruthin. My eyes were greeted to the sight of a tidy but used 1976 Z900. I trot over to admire it. I'd forgotten how small big bikes were back in the '70s. The owner, a gent in his late 60s, walks over seemingly quite happy to chat to me about it presumably he was quite flattered. I tell him that I'm more than a little jealous and I say that I wish I'd bought one back in the late '80s when they were reasonably priced. He tells me not to be too upset as he wishes he'd bought a Vincent in the late '60s when they were also reasonably priced.

I'd have a Vincent, Brough Superior, several other things with flat tanks hopefully including a BSA V-twin and some 60s Brit crap.
