It was on the way to work last wednesday. Must have been a mobile speed camera. I was i the car not on the bike but when I saw the letter I thought it was going to be the bike getting me into trouble already!

Aye the metas if you press button with ignition on it puts hazards on.

If you turn hazards on by switch at same time it will flash at double rate.

Give the switchgear a burst of ACF50 or GT85 through the gaps.

Got back to the bike last night after work with a battery charger. Battery was flat to the point it won't recharge. I took it to a garage for them to test it and they confirmed it's knackered.

I called the dealershop where I bought the bike as the battery was brand new a month ago, so I'm hoping that its under a guarantee (I won't be telling them about the jetwash incident though, I'll just say I hadn't started the bike for a week or something, they have more money than I do!).

Bloke I spoke to says I need to talk to the salesman who sold me the bike and he'll be about on monday, so hopefully I'll get it sorted then. If not, I asked for a price for a new one and the fella said £54... that's and expensive jetwash right there.

Hopefully that'll give everything a chance to dry out and there won't be any problems, but that remains to be seen!
