Salisbury Snape: May 26, 2014; While a grain platform can be used for corn, a specialized corn head is ordinarily used instead.

Heh, the Harley is so much more thirsty in comparison with the Honda. I think I paid more for petrol for the Harley in the first 2 or 3 weeks I had it than I did for the Honda in an entire year. Guess 15 times the displacement has an impact on fuel economy!

I really do want to do a Scotland to Wales trip, it'd be awesome.

Not doing it on the Honda though, that just needs to be sold as soon as possible. I'm not putting any more miles on it (beyond just getting it to somewhere nice and taking some nicer pictures of it).

I'll be needing a 2nd bike once the Honda goes.

No decision yet, but in the running are:

Ducati Monster 696
Ducati Monster 796
Triumph Street Triple 675
Triumph Street Triple 765
Ninja 400
BMW R9T (the regular one, not the Pure)
SV650

Triumph!

I know most of them are made in Thailand but still.

Didn't work.

It's either fused (wtf, how) and therefore needs a new fuse, or is just hosed and needs replaced.

So that's another £100+ in labour to the dealer because I can't exactly take the bike apart on the street behind my house. gently caress.

If it's fused surely it's with all the other fuses and accessible with minimal fuss in the street behind your house?
Must be worth a check rather than throwing money to the dealer?

I suppose sods law does dictate it will land in the most awkward of places, accessible only by stripping the entire bike lol

The last three bikes I've bought have all been through Facebook marketplace. The one before that I found in the local paper
