Immobilised

This is almost funny, if it wasn't so painful and annoying...

So 4 weeks ago, while walking the dog on a steep path, I slipped, went over on my ankle and basically mangled every muscle in my clutch leg. Nothing broken but a week on crutches and the last 3 weeks hobbling around like a geriatric meaning no driving.

Finally, around the middle of last week, my leg was strong enough to handle Zedster's clutch and I did a couple of days into work. Then, Friday, Zedster wouldn't start at all - my 'seemed a good idea at the time' immobiliser - a switch in the starter motor circuit - lost a wire (I think).

So, after 4 weeks of biological immobilisation, I'm now electrically immobilised!!

I'm going to take the opportunity to tidy up the wiring behind the aux panel - as I've added switches, I've just daisy-chained the wiring so I'm going to add in a small distribution panel to make it more reliable.

I also need to check my speed sensor on the propshaft - my speedo keeps freezing, which suggests the sensor may have vibrated away from its accurate position 2mm above the propshaft bolts.
