Reminds me of when I took the bike out after the rebuild. Pootling along checking everything was ok, and it was.

Decided to adjust the right side mirror a little with my left hand while holding a steady throttle along the road. Take hand off mirror to grip left bar again and the bike begins to die, pull in clutch, down the gears and coast to a halt.

WTF? :?

My mate is following behind and stops to see what's up.
"Erm, why did you flick your killswitch?......" #-o

As someone who has seen an awful lot of witches tits (yes, really - witches like dancing around with no clothes on), I have to report they are generally on the large side.
