So I've repaired my pals SV, but it's been sitting in my garage for a week
or two due to waiting for parts and "stuff", so I suggested he try starting
it inside the garage before wheeling it out into the rain. Good thinking,
sez he and promptly hits the starter. The SV whirrs into life and he's a
happy camper.

"When did you last start yours"? he asked and as it's been a few weeks
(repairs to others makes mine sit at the back of the queue) I decided that
starting it and running it until the fan kicked in a couple of times would
burn off any condensation, so I stuck the key in and hit the starter button.

It turned over and over and over and over...... and I thought"This is VERY
un-Zed-like" but it still refused to start. Anyway I gave up, Ian f.cked off
on his SV and I went back in the house. An hour later I was sitting having a
brew when another thought (2 in one day? f.ck ME!) came to me. Maybe the
fact that the bike hasn't been started for a week or two coupled to the fact
that the fuel tank wasn't even in the f.cking garage, let alone on the bike,
may have something to do with it.

I know, I know...
