I have finally got her all back together, having checked everything worked. I went to start the engine and everything was dead. The battery is (very rude words, said with furious venom!) flat.
Some of the electrical problems I have been experiencing are because the battery is dead, because until this ride, I had not moved the bike since last September. With an unpowered garage, we have the bikes linked to a solar charger that is mounted on the roof. This works very well... when the rider remembers to connect their bike to the system. The battery is now on charge in the flat and I am sulking.
My foot is still too painful to pull on my bike boots and I am struggling to drive, even with an automatic. On the plus side, my new blue badge arrived yesterday, so I look forwards to the conversation with the Church warden at one of the medical facilities (they rent space from the church!) I have to visit, when I put my bike in the disabled parking. He reported me to the police in 2019 for doing this and a very nice young Police woman told him that he was being unreasonable. I did enjoy a nice burnout in the carpark before I left...
