No, but having a number of bikes scattered around the island at different locations can be a godsend at times. On this occasion the bike refused to play after I stopped for fuel in Foxdale. Luckily, whilst I was fiddling around trying to see if I could locate a reason for the sudden lack of pumping, another participant in the run also called in for fuel. He kindly gave me a pillion ride to one my lock-ups about 5 miles away. 🙂 The Benelli was fortunately taxed and I’d recently checked the battery was charged as I hadn’t ridden this one for a couple of months, so it benefited from a decent run out. 🙂
I went back later in the evening in my MPV with Martin Minion to recover the Ghost. While I put of diesel in the MPV Martin went and tried to start the bike. It of course then started and appeared to run ‘okay’. I suggested he try starting it again. Sure enough, it wouldn’t. There has to be a dodgy connection somewhere, although I suppose the pump might be suffering a lingering death, but I would have thought it would just ‘die’ and not keep coming back to life.
