I apparently had the luck today. I expected a fight. I had her running and then synced in under 3 hours. Just need to check the stumble at 6k. Lots of threads about that so no need to dive in here. But there is a happy Christopher today.

There is nothing like "smug" is there LoL

In the vain of April foolishness:-
any ways yesterday i decided I had better go fire up the bike, not started it since my last visit to hospital, take off the covers, key the ignition, pump primes, set choke, hit run, then starter button WTF nothing jack.

So hit horn, works LOUD, indicators flash properly, brake light, head lights work top & lower beam , hit starter Nadda zilch.
Bugger.
Take out key, take out battery, put on charge , top up liquid as bit low, leave to charge over night. Button up the bike , covers, go and sulk.

Wake up at 3am, I just dreamed what was wrong the Bloody bike was in gear ! Get up take battery ,take of covers replace battery, key ignition , pump primes, set choke, hit run start brooom broom. I do not know what was louder the bike starting or me cursing my own foolishness. April & old age.

Dunno about BEST but the OLDEST for sure

Well April got me too. This is what I get for laughing at Geo. I rode the bike to the police station to fill out a police report. (Long story short is someone used my card number to buy 1500 dollars worth of stuff at walmart.com) And I go to leave and I put the bike in neutral, put the kickstand up, pulled in the clutch. Hit the starter.... nothing. The neutral light dimmed a little bit. Ummm ok. so I try again. My horn isn't working because my switch isn't making good contact, so I can't check that. All lights work.... So I think, ok my ks switch isn't letting me start the bike. I cut the wire and twist them together, starter.. Nothing. Crap well I guess it's in the switch. But I have too much to do at work and it's suppose to be bad the next couple of days. Sad day. Oh well I'll get it sorted out some time.

Nope, the officer that is handling my case gave me a ride home. Less than 2 miles and I hooked up the trailer, called the gf's dad and he helped me push the bike onto the trailer. I was already late for work so I just loaded her up and brought her to work.
