Fantastic weather here, ideal for a trip on the #
motorbike. It's a #
Honda, so there shouldn't be any technical problems, even though it had been sleeping in my garage for months. Sure, the tyres needed a bit of extra air, and although I never understand how that happens, there was also room for a little extra engine oil. The battery was full, I had taken care of that, and when the petrol reached the cylinders, it sprang to life. Just as I had expected.
Coolant: OK
Chain: OK
Brakes: OK
Lights: OK
Indicators: OK
Brake light: erm....
I hoped I only needed a new bulb, but alas: bulb was OK. If I pushed the rear brake really hard, it worked. Can't ride a bike without a working brake light, so that was that. Bummer! (I used different language at the time, but let's be decent here...)
Now, if only I knew where my #
Haynes manual was. I saw it when I moved house, a year ago...
