There are some sick b@stards about. Somebody spent time creating that & posted it on the internet ☹
Just so that we could ridicule the likes of Chas with it
I saw this on FreeCycle earlier...
..."Large chest freezer urgently req'd by good honest Jewish boy. Definitely not for taking advantage of cut price roasting joints at Iceland.
Must be free & ideally include free delivery. A contribution to my increased electricity bill would be appreciated, but not essential.
Thanks in advance, Chas"...

Dielectric grease on the terminals after a clean up.Fixed the Guzzi (I hope). I had a look on one of the Guzzi forums and read a post advising to check the battery connections, as if they are not clean and tight it can exhibit the symptoms I was experiencing, and I then remembered that I had the battery out a couple of days ago to repair my Optimate lead because one of the terminals had snapped
There's a firm on Fleabay that sell 50ml/grams for £3.90

How many miles on the clock?!
Last time I was in your neck of the woods was Kettering Crematorium in 2002. My aunt died and we said goodbye there and exactly 30 days later my uncle followed suit. Just folded up in the garden while reminiscing about her their oldest son who had delayed his return to Oz because of a DVT that prevented flying…… Funny how memories are triggered.
Uncle Cecil loved his bikes……

Just over 7300 miles. I've not investigated it yet beyond looking at the cable/lever connection which was fine, so unless it turns out to be a linkage failure, the break must be at the other end of the cable. I've only had one cable break before and that was my GPZ that I brought from new and only had for about 3 years, so it can happen at relatively low mileage.
I'll know more tomorrow when I get a good look at it.

Ooh, I've had plenty. And on cars too, I had a Sierra for a while that ate the bastard things. I tend not to clutch upchanges anyhow, on sequential boxes.
