Cruisin' Guzzisti
I've just read Fatal's trip and though I'd post some pics of my own trip. Wifey, my two girls and the mother in law were off to New York for a few days so rather than being out numbered on every decision and picked on I opted not to go. So I dropped them off at Manchester Airport at 7am got back home and pushed the bike out the garage and off I went.... To Hein Gericke, needed some inner gloves, I'd lost a pair during the week.
A couple of miles down the road I noticed the dash display wasn't changing, the trip, total miles and clock, digits were frozen, but the engine was running and I'm on my way . Got the gloves tunrned on the ignition, lights flash, needles sweep, the time is correct, it's added the mileage on, looks good and off we go . Onto the M6 and I notice the display hasn't changed since switch on at HG. Pulled off at Forton services, tried a bit of the switch off switch on watch the clocks, after a couple of attempts I got the red triangle and it wouldn't start, hmy: sadness, the trip is over and I've only gone 25 miles. Took my helmet off and ear plugs out, the alarm is screaming, I'd not switched it off during one of the on / off procedures, muppet! Reset everything, noticed the : on the clock was flashing, watched the minutes tick over, we're back to normal and I was on my way.
First day was 400 miles to Skye, this was the only night where I'd made a booking so I needed to press on, it was motorway to Glasgow and over the Erskine bridge.
