That's my hope and plan of action.

One was involved in an accident where it knocked 10 people down? They went on strike? It was a turkey? That's it I'm out of 10 pin bowling ideas.

It handled so bad it came with inflatable cushions you could put in the gutter to keep it on the straight - is that closer

The castigoni brothers (Cagivia's owners) had a 10 pin bowling alley made by AMC the HD owners installed in their home?

Cagiva SST 250 1977-1979 also marketed as Harley Davidson in some markets. Was it a way of laundering money by the mafiosi?

Sound bite required will be dipping into google

Whilst I agree in principle , there can be mitigating circumstances

Good point, just in case I'll add Lewman Road, Probus, Turo

Hey Ben shall we post our pictures ?

No! Who is the Doctor Or did you mean which Doctor is it? That's which not Witch so you're in the clear Docc

The red wires do appear to be coming out the regulator, so I'm happy that the schematic matches the actual wiring. All the fuses appear to be intact. All other electrics appear to be functioning as normal. I don't have any additional electrics on the bike. I assume I'm running on battery power since I started it yesterday. Run less than a mile and 4 starts no discernable loss in cranking power. I have suffered one blown fuse about 6 months ago for no apparent reason. The bike has lived outside for the last year as my garage is full of other crap, it get used all year and not washed down as often as it should, so it suffers the ravages of salt etc. My one concern is this the cause or a symptom. I will acquire a Multimeter tomorrow so can test as recommended. I hope it's just a victim of corrosion which may have caused the melting as the part rotted away leaving a narrow contact point which obviously got hot. Thank you for all your help and suggestions

I think you really know. Or did you hide behind the sofa Saturday tea time when you were growing up. I could understand some of the foreign Johnnies not knowing. Here's a picture of one of the Doctors (the message is incidental in this case) We could have a who's your favorite Dr; assistant or monster/villan thread

My wife doesn't go on the back for medical reasons. My kidneys can't take the punching

Progress report: Cleaned up the yellow connectors as recommended, did seem quite dirty. Whilst fishing around there I found the red/green wire with what appeared to be melted crimped end tucked behind the frame tube. I then found a pair of red wires coming up to this point with a similar connector. Picture shows them pulled out into view. Check of wiring diagram confirms that they should be connected. Picture lifted from Carl's splendid schematic Started to rain so I've not yet reconnected them, now where my silver foil and sticky tape - bodge point here I come.

I was mostly correct in my prediction. But the Guzzi didn't make it all the way to work due to Battery Charge Light Drank both Tea and Coffee whilst taking emergency calls. I forgot that it was first Monday of the month and failed to go the Local Branch MGOC meet - thats two consecutive months I knew there was a reason why I'd initially looked at working Tuesday.

In the What did you do today thread I predicted that I'd take the Guzzi to work this afternoon. Well I was almost correct I set off but the charge light didn't go out. It normally goes out straight away. It was burning nice and bright. She had cranked over okay and started first time despite being stood outside for 6 days. I decided that discretion was the better part and returned home and took the car to work On my return I've started her up and the light went out. Went and grabbed my helmet to have a quick spin around the block and on restarting the light went out and then came back on, went out again and came back on, rode down the road rode went out briefly as the revs hit 4grand but has stayed on since. All other electrical functions appear to be working. I've done brief search and tomorrow. I'll be checking the yellow wires connectors under the front of the tank. The tightness of the battery terminals (though I'd think they'd be fine as it cranked no problem). I' don't think this would be a relay/fuse issue, and reaching for a multimeter to check outputs etc (clueless). Any hints would be appreciated. Following Dlaing and Felix having to replace their rectifiers/regulators and Felix frying his alternator and also Antonio saying he's replaced his as well I'm not sure what I'll find

Today I've just come off night shift - closed the M25 (London orbital) at St Albans for an at midnight for an accident ( not serious injury). Was able to get it to single lane running after about 15 minutes and fully open within the hour. Arrange the removal of a couple of vehicles for no insurance/driving licence. Attention messages for stolen vehicle from burglaries, unfortunately none where disturbed an all had plenty of time to get away. Home and into bed for 0730, up at 1130. Take my little girl to school (afternoons only) Waiting now for a visit regarding respite care for our "miracle baby" now aged 6 Back at work for 4pm, given up my day off for to fund my Guzzi trips this summer only want me for 6 hours cover (not sure exactly what they will have me doing) so should be home 1030pm. Will be on the Guzzi as weather is quite mild. Try for an early night around midnight to catch up on some sleep I've not had over the weekend (night shift work and young children ) Though 7 hours can hardly be described as catching up.

Over 2 weeks away. Hopefully we're in the last knockings of the winter. It's been very cold (comparatively) here this weekend. I'm on nights and have been taking the car to work as a precautionary measure. I could have Guzzi'd it but decided not to risk it. It might be a bit chilly for Waltzing might need some extra layers rather than just the T shirt I normally wear. I'm sure the roads will be just dandy in the sunlight My transit is on major roads so should be clear for the journey in the dark. I do have a rather optimistic outlook on life.

Perhaps the red ones are different Additional: I was suffering guilt anyway hence 2nd Quiz for 5 March, but I'd blame Guy, he was putting too much daylight between himself and me with his recent quiz points You threw me initially I thought you'd got it from the site that Belfast had hot-linked to and as such would have left it for him. I couldn't check that as it's blocked by the filter at work. So I checked when I'd got home, and on finding it wasn't such a "BFG Gimme" it was Quiz point quest on. Don't worry its soon RBR time I'll have a different focus for my obsessive compulsive behaviour

I would have given you till tomorrow before starting giving clues and no complaints about the ers intellectual copyright in the use of his outstanding work.

Make? Model? When picture was taken? Where taken? Valve settings? How many lace holes on the riders boots? Hopefully this will allow a certain contributor to achieve his first Quiz Point

But by May your moment of glory in the spotlight will have faded, and you will be remembered as that strange bike they put on the front to stir the lethargic V11 owners to send in there submissions (I'm tempted to send mine in as dire warning to what happens if you ride it all year and don't wash the salt off). Otherwise who knows what's next Enzo's RC51 Kryptomatic

I will be doing book signings- well Gambaribtickler. Check my profile for the updated nonbeardy spring is here looking me. EDIT - I've changed my profile photo this was the one that related to this thread
