This is not a bike to be ridden alone after dark. Light falls way too low and to the left and using the rear brake cuts out all electrics - speedo, headlight and rear running light. I'm sure I caused some concern as I disappeared from view approaching stop signs. Running good though!

Yup, we have a short. They can be a real pain in the nether regions to find. Maybe Saturday?

... the problem is that while wiggling things, they can go away before you have found them. Once gone, you have to wait for the short to reappear before searching again.

Its called stealth mode. A very rare option...

Rosco P. Coltrane will never see you while your running shine for uncle Jesse.

You guys are the best. Had a good laugh at these responses.

My faith in our youth is somewhat better tonight than it was this morning. Pulled up to the Chapters on Whyte and a kid on a skateboard, all of 15 or so yelled out: "Hey, Nice Lambretta!"

Of course, he was quite correct!
