Reliable old Hondas

[Bryanj]

OK I am a bad owner! The 500 that is on the road(ish) has sat under a cover since it last came back from MOT (Sept 13) but the wind got the cover and shredded it so bought a canvas one off fleebay and thought OK whilst it is uncovered i will see what happens

(1) put in key and turn on

(2) astounded that idiot light lit up---not surprised that not enough for starter

(3) turn on petrol and chock

(4) at 3rd kick oil light goes out

(5) at 7th kick bursts into life and after about 1 min blipping settle to a decent tickover

Now just got to sort the LH indicator and get it tested again!!!


Have had relatively decent news on the boy as he has had a diagnosis, not the best being severe Crohns but not the worst possible. Might now get time to sort out all those bits i have promised to look out for you guys (and gals) Didn't help that for the past week i have been swapping hard drives and other numerous bits to try and get rid of malware all seems OK at present---crossing everything available and bashing shite out of the old wood desk!!!


All the best to you all

Regards

Bryan

I know a chap with Crohn's who has been in remission for 13 years now with the aid of medications, it has never stopped him doing anything. He is a professional sailor and will be sailing around the world next year in the Vandee Globe challenge and completed the Fastnet Race a few years ago as well. Maybe anyone on this forum who has a bit of loose change laying around in the bottom of the tool box could send it to www.forcrohns.org to help their research in to the condition. Manageable but unfortunately not cureable, yet.

Another plus one on the above. Family gotta come first. Glad you got back to the 500 before she got as bad as mine.

Always greatly appreciate your wisely advice Bryan on here and the US site. Know you work mega long hours and have your own problems to cope with too but nevertheless, you still consistently help us out. Sure it will work out OK with the boy.
