So where do we start?
Got the Virago all packed up and ready to meet G and Sims at Gordano services. Hit the starter and it kind of turned over but would not fire ; ( So I waited 5 mins and hit it again. Nothing.
So off loaded everything, got the tools, took the seat off, the pod terminal is all but inaccessible, at least without major surgery .
I know this because i took the battery out 3 months ago to fit a cigarette lighter socket .......... aha Eureka moment I can access the pos side if i cut into the red wire supplying the ciggie lighter.
Bare the wires, attach jump lead, attach neg jump lead to random earth bolt. Hit starter Brmmm... Brmmmm yippee, put seat back on, put luggage back on, head for Goradano. Arrive 40 mins late.
Then head for Exeter with G and Sims. Keep a steady 75 and here quickly but it was very cccccold. Fingers frozen.
Now sitting in a pub in Silverton. The Lamb Inn having the first Kronie of the trip. Log fire 3 happy peeps.
