'Him' - I thought motorbikes had feminine gender! Mind you that might
have been because when I started riding they were temperamental, vicious
(kickstart), and cost you lots of money. Maybe things have changed now :->
BTW, I actually managed a ride on my new (to me) secondhand ST today
because it actually stopped raining in Devon for a few hours. I ran onto
'reserve' and the fuel warning light came on, filled up to the brim* 10
miles later, and rode off again - it took a good couple of minutes before
the fuel gauge crept off the red and another minute or so before the
'reserve' light went off - is this normal?? [this is the first time I have
put petrol in the tank - the dealer must have almost filled the tank
(that's changed too since I last bought a bike!)]
*fantastic local garage, didn't have to get off bike, didn't have to
remove helmet, only had to remove one glove to sign!
