For the avoidance of doubt and for the benefit of my wife, not everything I may say here will be absolutely true I may on ocassion embellish a little for effect.
That said when it comes to motorbikes, I like to ride side saddle with a nice frock

Let's face it, you wouldn't go to a nurse to get good advice on a problem with a Falco - you'd choose an Engineer or a mechanic...

If you want to push it a bit further, I'll have a look for you .... though can't promise I'll fix it ..... so you might have to push it back again.



Hint ..... why don't you push it half a mile and then call the RAC again :smt002

Well a new problem occured today, it wouldn't start again this time its the starter relay. i was hitting the start button and nothing happened just a click and a fizz sound so i had a little look around and all i did was touch the starter relay and the engine turned over, i almosted evacuated my bowls on the spot much to my wife and kids amusment.
Anyway i will order a new starter relay tomorrow and in the meantime i will make sure i have my AA card with me over the weekend.
