I guess one real good thing about the original Concours is that there should be plenty of used parts available as they made the bike for about 879 years without any changes. :laughing:

I have nothing to add. Just here for the jokes. :mrgreen:

Brother finally arrived with the volt metre today, everything checks out A-one current wise right up to the start motor. Looks like the starter is shot. We looked at it and decided that this is a job best left to the pros, so now waiting for baby brother to come back with a trailer and off to the shop it goes. May as well get them to do a full service while they have it. Sigh, the joys of owning a bike and a small parking space in an underground garage.
Always ask why.

In the shop as we speak, getting a bunch of work done on as well as replacing or fixing the starter. Should be good to go on the 15th.
