Spaggetti Junction


WE HAVE POWER!!!

After 3 hours of pulling, probing, poking and soldering, my electrical gremlins have disappeared. The bike fires up, the indicators work, the alarm shatters ear drums and all without the smoke and flash of sparking electricity. Hoozah! It appears that this black magic can be tamed after all!

A quick test ride round the block whilst loaded up with half my luggage and all is good. Providing I can get on It's quite nice to ride and very easy to balance, even with luggage. My doubts about making it to the end of the road have been proven wrong. The only problem is getting on and off since I only have short fat hairy legs and there is a limited possibility of a wall being present to lean on every time I want to get off. I'm sure I'll adapt somehow.

I also seem to do a pretty good glow in the dark power ranger impression!
