Crap! Broke down in the fast lane on the way to work yesterday morning, just before Aotea offramp.
Only a foot of room between the barrier and the white line... which is zero room to park even a scoot.
Put him up on the stand, attempted to kick him into life again but had to leap over the barrier out of the way of traffic.
No cars attempted to stop or slow. Heaps of bikes did slow, ask or acknowledge. One guy on a Ducati did stop and I'm very grateful. Nowt could be done though.
Called *555 and a car turned up about 15-20 minutes later. Managed to start it again but only got as far as The Terrace offramp before it sputtered to a halt again. Started again. Think it's either bad fuel and/or a carb problem.
