Certainly, some technology brings out the muppet in us.
On way home from Shropshire on the BMW, I stopped on a pub car park to ring home and give a progress report to the Fuhrer.
Bike wouldn't start but turned over ok. Checked fuel...OK....Checked it was getting to carbs, took plugs out, checked for spark, nothing. Took tank off and checked coil, nothing. Put everything back together, about 40 minutes wasted.
Got phone out to call recovery and looked at my helmet.........I noticed I'd hung it on the handlebars and the strap had turned off the engine cut out switch !!
Plonker rides again !
