| | Posted : 23 Mar 2013 - 21:52 Post title : Re: Snow (Re: beast1700) | | | It's used as a parking light which also illuminates when the headlight is on.If you were to park the bike at night on the side of a well traveled road for a short period of time,ya turn the key to the parking position,[it can be removed in that position],and that little light,along with the tail light, will illuminate.That info is in the Owner's Manual.But if it burned out,I don't think I'd worry too much about it unless you were gonna be parking on busy streets at night,a lot.

That's about 400 more than me. Unlike last year the evenings have been to cold to work in garage to.
This morning in Matlock and the rest of the week looks like the same
So much for bloody spring.

We have the same stuff lying around here for the last three days.
I have the oil and filter ready for my oil change, but I am not faffing around in an unheated garage in these temperatures!
I also have my new storm ultra 2 waiting to be fitted once I have the last mm of Metz used up, Lucas rear brake pads waiting for this change too.
But I want/need to get out on the bike to use the last of the tyre so that the bike is all bedded back in before the Scotland adventure.
Work commitments and weather have seen only 400 miles have been ridden since the end of October

Glad you were able to fit that snowmobile track and ski to your bike, sounds like it works OK

That's great!!  Get your ride in while you can, it will probably snow tomorrow the way things are going for you.
I got in around a 200 mile ride yesterday, sort of a boring area where we went but nice to get out.

39* here too and many bikes in Matlock Bath. Funnily e ought not many out on the roads. By the time Ian, Vic & I met up again at Matlock Bath in the afternoon, many more shiny bikes yet ours were covered in white road muck. Seems while many about we were the only ones who'd covered an distance on our snow banked roads.
Great to be out'n'about
