tripped the kill switch & star
« on: August 29, 2023, 07:18:43 PM »
Man do I hate that!
Especially when I'm miles from home on a dark road!

The switch on my Piaggio kills any starting attempt - while the LIKE will crank and crank and crank, but will not start.
So this morning I tripped the Liberty's switch in the dark - running lights are on, (no headlight) oil light on - start button does nothing!
"WTH?!".....for 3 long seconds. Then I thumbed the kill switch! Maybe only 2 seconds - but long enough to remind me how much I hate that thing!

Cool star out there this morning.






No mesh this morning -- 52 degrees.
wore my leather ICON and the POLITE vest ;)
