They take a dim view of that - only vehicles are permitted on motorways.

ER6s aren't that bad. Although the horn seems to have stopped working again.

And I'd just like to say thank you to the ER6 formation bump starting team. Having checked it with the testmate the battery does in fact appear to be shagged. Yay...

And on further investigation. Taking it off and putting it on the optimate it's still shagged. A bit of warning might have been nice before it decided to pack in. I've found the receipt and it lasted 3 and a smidge years and about 13k miles which is about right I suppose.

Thanks to Curt for the heads-up on this. 'twas a thoroughly enjoyable day out

I know, there's 3 Aprilias, a Honda and a kawasaki on a carpark.
Which one is most likely to be fucked?
And I was trying to be nice to it as well.

I thought I might be talking to the nice RAC man again. Was going to tell him as he liked the Faclo he might want to see my other one.
