New starter motor tomorrow should be out in time for the pudding run , great day guy's and gal's excellent route planned Frankie, next time i will take (once i buy it) the HD head camera.TC: when i left you i was heading for Burnley town centre, i kept seeing signs for the M66 and thought ahh bollox and headed for it instead of going all over the back roads home! I live 4 mile away from the Bury junction hence coming off there.Great day guy's and gal's excellent route planned Frankie, next time i will take (once i buy it) the HD head camera.BB Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hammer5 Posted August 22, 2010 Share Posted August 22, 2010 glad the indicator's fixed!Ok what TC is referring too is as we had to fuel up to get home this meant i had to remove the key from the ignition to open the petrol cap thus turning the engine off... Which meant i needed a push start, luckily for me there were two lads at the garage who were willing to give me a push - as TC & his little legs - carted himself off to the toilet!! They gave me a bump start and i say there waiting for TC to get dressed. As he was taking so long i put the kickstand down to rest my legs, once he got dressed i put it into gear forgetting the kickstand was still down and of course the engine cut out! So i had to ask the two lads to give me a push again..Still not as bad as the guy who came pushing his bike in as he had ran out of petrol and his wife came waddling in about 2 4 minutes later looking slightly tired (chubby woman) and peeved off.Its all down to learning experiences!!
