    Mine did this too and I found that one of the wires was broken right about where it goes through the hole in the fender. I thought it was just the bulb and it was burnt out but I think perhaps from the wire making and breaking contact rapidly that might have blown out the bulb. Or just a coincidence.

    Nope it was just the bulb. The bike is almost together now, just need to tighten & torque the rear wheel & block the exhaust baffle holes, then a full clean & polish.

    Gave my 5 Gen the once over in preparation for some up coming track time next weekend. Prior to that, I rode the Triumph Tiger to the garage where my 900SS is being housed while I barrow the Tiger. By sheer coincidence, this article came in an email from Cycle World this morning...
    https://www.cycleworld.com/1991-1997-ducati-900ss-is-used-motorcycle-you-need?CMPID=ene060318

    I think the Moto Gods are telling me to get the Duc back and go ride it!, Soon, very soon...

    Back in Cali for work and saw a friend on the frwy that was training a driver to heavy haul.
    I call to see if he had room for me to rent and he said the guy next to him does.
    Ex pro motocross and dessert racer, I’m looking at his shop and his dirt bikes and off to the side is a bike covered so reached down and lifted the cover off.
    What do I see ——

    An 07 with less then 10k, looks like I have a new riding buddy, he just got back from racing the Baja 500 with a 4 man team.

    Hey another shout out to my buddy Randy aka (Lint) and his most incredible and awesome family for putting me up for a month.
    Going to miss the guy

    Here, here! He was a good corner worker, rider and friend. Shared a few fun rides on the road and on the track with him! Glad the three of us got in that one last ride in Malibu before he left.
