What goes "Donk-donk-*POP*-fizzz..." A: A Yamaha Tenere,
It didn't though. It just decided to pretend it had a flat battery then spring back into life after 15 minutes. Once it had me fooled it waited until I was right in the middle of the roadworks just before the M11 before flashing the engine management light up and then losing all panel lights and the tacho. At that point I nipped off up the M11 for about 1/2 mile before pulling over and hitting it with sticks. It'll be ok for next years winter jolly.
