Well this year has started very sparsely in my motorcycling world, with just a few odd days out on the Kawasaki to try and strengthen my neck muscles in readiness for Paul and I heading off to France for what is becoming our annual tour.
The first of these was an overnight trip to my sister's in Wirral. On the way back, what had been an occasional niggly reluctance of the immobiliser to "disengage" became a big issue when she refused to start at all, after stopping for petrol before I set off for home. After trying everything I could think of, I admitted defeat and called the recovery service. When they arrived an hour later, of course the bike started first press of the button! We made it home without further drama, but the next morning I stripped the immobiliser out from the wiring and put everything back to what I assumed was standard. Amazingly she started immediately and I have had no further starting issues, albeit I'm starting to suspect I may have a slightly temperamental ignition switch, but that's a different story.
I bit the bullet and later that week set off on a 5 hour journey down to Reading to see my son, returning the following day. Not a beat was missed, so I carried on preparing the bike for the France trip a couple of weeks later.
