Thanks for a great route, was interesting getting home ........


My alarm system decided it would pack up in Minehead so .......




Ripped the thing apart, taking half the bike apart I the process, rewired it and rode home with no issues B-)

Amazing what you can find out on google and with the aid of some paper clips lmao.

Which begs the question, why bother with an alarm? If you can do that at the roadside with no prior knowledge, imagine how quickly a thief can do it with preparation and planning .....

Yes but thats only because I knew what Brand and Model of alarm I had :wink:

And who's to say I had no prior knowledge of alarm systems :wink:

Glad everyone had a good time, was nice to get out and have a bimble on relatively quiet roads - I guess the chilly fog put them off.
Top job everyone for getting the JM system to work and using the TEC instead of the force.

Had an interesting ride back, got slower and slower on the motorway due to lack of grip on the throttle. Ended up only being able to do about 45 MPH by the time we got to Holden.

Interesting experience.
Arms well and truly taken to failure.

more than welcome mike, not aware you held anyone up, besides it was a small group and the idea was to stick together.
