I lived in Canada from 1975 to 1977. I bought a new Suzuki GT 500 twin in 1976 and as soon as the ignition was switched on, the headlamp and taillight came on. That was the law in those days over there. Since then, I have always switched the lights on when I start the bike (or car).........what have you got to lose and imagine being in Court when some knob has knocked you off your bike and some clever Lawyer is trying to make out it was your fault...being able to say that you were showing your headlight, were wearing hi vis clothing, had a brightly coloured helmet and were obeying the speed limit, and driving sensibly. As an old Boss of mine used to say 'It's all very well being in the right when you get knocked down and killed on a Pedestrian Crossing.........but your'e still dead' !
Managed to get a bit of time working on the bike today, fully stripped electrics, oil tank, and pretty much everything else bar the front end.This bad boy was the biggest pain in the arse, fully seized and came pre-rounded by the previous ownerLiterally tried everything to get it off, cutting a slot and using an impact hammer, cutting new flats and trying to get a spanner on it, using this plumbers tool thing, heat, and finally going medieval and cutting it to bits and smashing it with a chisel.unfortunately I've damaged the filter housing, not too much but enough that i know its going to annoy me.
