Pushing a Guzzi to the limit

....and beyond.

The limt in this case read '40' and was at the end of Newmarket High
Street.

Yes, Italian Electrics have struck again, just under two miles from
home: at a temporary set of traffic lights for a horse crossing, the
bike just died and that was that. Fuel OK; battery survived a few
attempts to restart.

I drew some solace from the fact that I was more-or-less keeping pace
with the race traffic that queued into Newmarket as I pushed the old
bus home.

Several traffic police gave me cheerful encouragement as I reached the
first junction.

I was going to go to the gym tonight, but oddly I don't feel the urge
now.

 

Gosh, yes, 'cos he's already had lots of exercise LOLOL!!!

 

I'm laughing at the man with the misspelt sig.

 

Oi! FRO! I may need to get longer legs, but I'd *love* a Quota!

Decent ,and reasonably priced, do seem to have become mutually exclusive
terms when looking for Morinis lately.

I know where there is a 'project' 350 Sport 'type' available, but I
doubt you would get it for £250.

How about this one?

Harrumph. I think not.

It did something similar a few months ago: got me most of the way to
work then simply stalled at idle at a junction and wouldn't restart.
In that case, like now, it was the first run after a few weeks without
use. On that occasion I scraped the relay contacts clean and it did
another fifteen hundred miles or so without a problem.

I'll find out tomorrow for sure, but I reckon a new set of relays may
be in order.

It could do with a new battery, too.

 

Well, she's fixed. Error code 1.2: faulty phase sensor.

Or rather, a corroded connector block.
