Re: Gripe of the day - What is yours?
Went out last night and attached a bag on the back of the bike with a bungee for the first time. Now the rear left indicator doesn't work. Bulb is OK and so are the connectors. As that is the limit of my expertise, the bike is off to my mechanic friend tomorrow. More expense!

You pierced the cable with your bungee hook maybe?

Re: Gripe of the day - What is yours?
That's what it looks like to me too. Beyond my expertise as I have NO mechanical or electrical aptitude at all. At least I will get mates rates for the repair.

If you don't like something he's done, make him change it. If it costs him money, he'll not do it again. You're probably not going to get a christmas card from him anyway...
