A typical YTC moment.

During our curry in Watford on Saturday I told Jackie, DNC and BigJ
about my adventure that afternoon. I had decided to take the T/Bird
out for a spin. So I hauled its heavy arse out of the garage then
pressed the starter. Whirr, clunk, tick, tick. The battery was flat.
So I decided to bump start it. So I selected 2nd gear turned on the
ignition then started running and jumping on the seat whilst releasing
the clutch. Nothing. I after about half a mile I pushed it down a hill
and sat on, then released the clutch.nothing. Another half a mile and
my now I was on my knees, still nothing. This bike is quite heavy and
I have very little muscle left so it was hard work. TBH, I was quite
exhausted. It suddenly dawned on me...I hadn't disarmed the
immobiliser. I pressed the key fob, pushed bike then released the
clutch, it started no prob.

Nice to know the immobiliser works, though.

 

I can't blame hormones for that. I put it down to me being a TC. TBH.

At least it was the immobiliser and not the ignition kill switch.
Halfway down bloody Honister Pass before I realised.

 

Blonde moment.

 

Whirr, clunk, tick, tick. The battery was flat.

In the olden days we didn't have immobilisers. I bought a new Honda 250 in
1972 - it was a reward for giving up smoking. A day or two later it would'nt
start. I rang the man with anger in my voice. Kill switch: he said. He spoke
the truth. I didn't blush because I was young.

This post has slightly been written in the style of Hemingway.

Absolutely.
