Bet your glad no one was stood watching you :lol: :lol:

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

My red LED on mine had stopped working after I rewired them.... but they do still work.... Hummm.

:oops: You think THATS stupid,after I came in from a reasonable ride in the sun,opened garage,rode up the drive,went to get off......didn't put stand down,NEARLY dropped it!

Muppet :oops:

Jim lad, at least re-wiring it via the lights saves you a flat battery :shock:

We've all* done something similar Jim, Don't worry mate :lol: :lol: :lol:

(*) Some of us more than others :oops:

hey cloggsy, jims was funny though, he was through at mines with Baz and busy showing me the benefits of nice toasty grips, 2 coffee's later and guess what, he forgot to turn them off, result = battery as flat as a witches t!ts :lol:
