Re: Warning light issue and recovery/warranty bigger issue.

All sorted. ‘Anti knock sensor fault’ warning cleared and didn’t reappear during the two 20 mile rides I said they could do to bring the milage up to the minimum for the first service.
Pick it up Tuesday, weather permitting.

Re: Satnav vs Mounted Phone

We tried using offline maps in Canada back on 2019 but, trying to get back to Toronto airport was a nightmare as it was always about 50m or so too late so we kept missing junctions. We now try and buy a local SIM and stick it in the phone. It only cost £35 for 28 days in the US last year and worked ...

Re: SWM is back in UK

The boss of Trago points out that they offer 'cheap mobility' to a wide range of customers in predominantly rural areas without some of the 'baggage' that comes with conventional motorcycle dealers. Good move...from my time 'in the trade' I know that an attractively priced offer of bike, basic kit ...

Re: Warning light issue and recovery/warranty bigger issue.

A great decision.

They finally left at 14.20 but it will have to be relayed via a changeover at Chobham Services so probably won’t get there until tomorrow.
I’m not bothered about timing but what a shambles. All this started on Thursday!

Re: What was your first motorcycle trip abroad?

Our honeymoon in 1977 on our 1973 Triumph Bonneville. We had had a few trips around the UK before we got married (no ‘living in sin’ in those days :lol: ) and were going to see our friend’s brother who was in the army in Germany. In the meantime he had bought himself out so we decided to get married...

Re: Warning light issue and recovery/warranty bigger issue.

BSG got onto Husqvarna for advice today and, lo and behold, the AA are picking the bike up tomorrow and taking it to them for investigation…..and my first service.

I guess someone got a rollocking for not doing what they are paid to do and is part of the T&Cs.
