Typical. Riding home to Bridlington on friday evening cruising up the A64 at a steady 80ish enjoying myself and i'm thinking "the bike sounds great and running like a dream" when seconds later, "Pop..Bang.." and i'm coasting to a halt at the side of the road. "B*llocks" Leave it for a few minutes then press the starter and she fires up for several seconds popping and f*rting then dies. Repeat this several times and the same keeps happening. Eventually manage to ride another 250 yards to a lay bye and phone the recovery people. I'm fairly sure it's the digiplex ignition unit yet again so i'm on the hunt for one if anyone just happens to have one lying around doing nowt. Thanks to SOS Motorcycle Recovery from Sheffield for getting me home.
