A while back I spoke to a neighbour and he expressed an interest in bikes.
He’s been through the mill and had loads of different bikes in his life.
He did plant and machinery electrical stuff as his career.
So he’ll have the wisdom and knowledge to understand the problems with my bike.
He’s agreed to take a look at ‘Project Scrappy Hyosung’ and help me banish a few of the electrical demons.
Tea and bacon sandwiches will be supplied

Been out for a little blip on the Spacker after work today, playing with camera mounts this evening.
Got a cracking stillshot as I went under an overpass and gave the customary tunnel revbomb.
Took a few tries to pause the clip on exactly the right spot, but got there in the end.

The local coke-dealer was killed in a car accident three weeks ago, his funeral was today.
The accident also killed off another chap who lived next door to him. That chap *might* have been the scumbag who stole two of my bikes when I first moved into this street. If it wasn't, then it was his brother, sticky-fingered little scumbag.
Earlier intel passed on my another of my neighbours was that the "best mate" of today's dead guy was also instrumental in nicking the second bike from outside my house: a particularly sexy GSX750 with a grunty engine that set off car alarms and didn't even belong to me, it had been lent to me by my fella
So although I tried to feel sorry for their respective families, I wasn't really all that bothered that they had died.
Quite pleased actually. ____________________ Not nearly as interesting in real life. |

Today I was disappointed to learn that a friend at work had sold his 6 month old Street Triple stating that he felt disconnected from the riding experience.
He's used to 'raw' bikes without all the rider aids.
My gears were subsequently oiled when I received a pic of his new 20 year old machine, an absolute minter by his account.
Should keep him happy for a while.

Well wtf!????.
My neighbour who knows more about electronically ‘stuff’ than I could ever hope to know , came to my house today.
Literally Two minutes poking around ‘Project Scrappy Hyosung’ and he’d cured the intermittent front brake light issue.
It turned out to be a dirty switch on the lever???., I’d cleaned that once before ? Obviously not well enough .
We now have lights, indicators, brake lights front and rear and a horn, and dash console! .
Oh yeah! ____________________ I am the sum total of my own existence, what went before makes me who I am now! |

I'm finally starting to understand what they talk about in the Chief Executive's senior management monthly meeting.
Probably I should spend more time concentrating on what they are all saying instead of perving on the Ops Director
But I think I am sloooooowly learning how not to waffle in the Minutes. ____________________ Not nearly as interesting in real life. |

Interesting. Wouldn’t you have to ride like an absolute loon or in appalling conditions to provoke the “rider AIDS”? |

I was riding to work this morning when a woman on the pavement crouched down and put her hand over her dog’s eyes. I don’t think it lessened the dog’s urge to chase me, but good effort.

When the bad A.I.D.S. is paired with RBW throttle, they can make it a bit indirect feeling. I think this is what is being referred to.
TC can normally be switched off, or put on the lowest setting.
ABS, depending on the bike, would normally get its fuse pulled at the track to stop it interfering as some bikes have intrusive ABS.
Others have it linked to the IMU for cornering, and that makes it almost race ABS, and it'll make most riders quicker round a track due to increased confidence to brake harder, later. Some of these newer bikes throw an error and won't start if ABS is not working IIRC.
But normal day to day riding you would need to be very naughty to get TC or ABS to ruin/save the day.
I am not a fan of mucking about with digital dash settings, I just want to ride it, not debug it or program it. But if a bike I liked had all this gubbins it wouldn't be a deal breaker. In the future though, when it's long out of warranty, and all the software to fix it is no longer working, you'll probably have a bike that's bricked. ____________________
