Went to go out yesterday for a long overdue play in the aim to rack up a few hundred miles but alas it was not meant to be. Got out to the garage and faffed around a bit checking out the air filter... then the bugger wouldn't start again. Spent 10 mins figuring out what was wrong and... the kill switch had been knocked again *sighs*
So left late, then got about 3 miles away and the bike started to splutter and come to a halt... crap... god damn fuel pipe is kinked under the tank and I forgot to bring any tools with me. Half hour later my house mate turns up and I get the bike running again. By this point big black clouds have come over and are looking menacing so gave up and rode home - it just wasn't meant to be. Turned out that the rest of the day was actually quite nice with no rain but I bet if I'd have continued it would have thrown it down just to spite me
