It holds a pin/piece of wire.


Probably so you can clean crud out of holes, valves or something ?


As an aside it's a probe from a multimeter  :lol

Not when you're at a meet or out and about  :lol


Check you have a spark ?


Does it live on your bike or in the workshop ?
How often do you use it ?
Is the wire/pin in the croc clips important to it's role ?

Its the live connection to your pet mouses vibrator, she lives under your seat and saves you money on alarms working as your guard mouse. Being housed on the bike she has gotten so accustomed to vibrations you had to invent something to keep her happy when the bike is parked up.
Close, no, awe well  :D

Is the pin magnetised?

If you don't use it to pass electric through and it's length isn't important (it can't be as the pin could wiggle or anything) then you have to dangle it somewhere inaccessible, so the pin would be magnetized to pick stuff up ?

Nope, one bike has no alarm the other has a spyball.

I'd just sellotape the pin to a piece of the plastic underneath the seat.

Sorry thats a shameless plug when it actually came from....


" Let's invent the wheel

Those of you who are long enough in the tooth to remember E.L.Whisty in his first incarnation (the latest version has more lines on the face and a different voice), may possibly remember his story of the caveman who invented the Ban-dan-bladder-stiddle. The pay-off was that his mate, Og, invented the same thing last week, but called it the wheel."

Taken from; http://www.iroquois.free-online.co.uk/sf27.htm

Which is from the old Peter Cook and Dudley Moore radio shows. A bit obscure and hard to find online. I've yet to find the recording online but a mate has the tape.

Its very funny the way they do it.
