Went to look at the Shadow on ebay, phoned yesterday to sort it. Get there around 11, plugged it in & spent 15 mins checking switches etc. Finished & said to the guy "it's got another couple of days on ebay?"
"No. Someone made an offer last night. It's sold"
He also sold the SS to Brewdog, nowt to do with me. Tho' what they're gonna do when it goes tits up remains to be seen as he gets Phil over to sort his machines.
Get home, phone rings, Addams fooked in the station bar. Grab some tools, jump on bike, go & have a look.
Unfortunately the diagnostic buttons have never been brilliant & today only one was making contact. Unscrew the holding bracket so the buttons are dangling free & I'm in luck. One push in ten works. Transpires thing kickout solenoid not working, seems to be the coil. Coils never go wrong.
Jump back on bike to see if I've a spare at home. Whoopee. Got three.
Back on bike bit of rain. Bugger. Fit new coil, everything hunky dory.
Halfway home & big drops of rain. Next thing all hell lets loose, thunder & the heavens open. I'm wearing jeans.
Why do I bother?
