RE: [ST] Anyone awake?

["Chris Harwood" <Chris@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

I recently had a break in the loom to the left bar that stopped the
clutch switch working so the starter failed.  There was a brass crimped
connection halfway along the loom just where most flexing occurred when
steering.  I was lucky that the break re-made when the bars were
straight-ahead, otherwise I would have been stranded.
