    ok, not happy, fog has killed the electrics i'm freezing cold and miles from home.
    pushed to texaco garage, bought fuses fiddled around in dark to replace only to discover there's spare fuses built into the main fuse holder! thanks hyo, wish i'd known before the pushing tho. just limped home thru the fog in back roads, only lucky thing is i was 60ft away from M4 slip road and would have been completely bollocksed
    biking is a STEEEEEEEP learning curve
    onwards and upwards and sometimes a little sidewards....

    Good point Al, your fault for upsetting my bike then again Dennis did sit on it earlier so maybe it was that after all :P

    Any ideas on best way to protect the electrics from the damp/wet? I seem to have a fair bit exposed under the tank :-[

    Glad you got home, don't forget to replace the spare fuse.

    Is worrying that the fuse went, the damp shouldn't have that bigger effect. Coupled with the dim lights, I'd be a little suspicious.
