your views wanted.
about 20yrs ago i was taking my girl friend home on
my triumph t110, it was a star less night in november
the road was a typical english b road full of twists
and turns, about 10 mins into the journey we both
noticed that we had someone following us, it was
a single light so we automaticaly assumed it was
another biker, for about 5 mins the light seemed
to keep a constant distance behind but quite suddenly
it was right behind us, thinking that it might be
a mate wanting a bit of company we started to
speed up for a bit of fun this lasted for 2 to 3 mins
when suddenly there was a bright flash and my bike
cut out and the lights went out, well doing about 60
with no lights is not fun but by pure luck we stoped
without crashing, after a long wait we got a lift
to my girl friends house, having left my bike in feild
gateway, after we recovered the bike it was found
that the battery was dead and would not take a charge
and both spark plugs had no earth electrodes left
and latter the ht leads were arcing and had to be
replaced also the back of my girl friends leather
jacket had a dull oval mark on it that never did
polish out. i have never found an explanation for
what happened and apart from the people dirrectly
involved not talked about it.
