Comments on: Ruthie got a new motorcycle! http://blog.geeklawyer.org/2006/08/27/ruthie-got-a-new-motorcycle/ A barrister gossips & rants on intellectual property law, the legal system and civil liberties.

I also confessed to falling off to the mechanic. Happily he informed me that this is the fault of the bike rather than the rider and that bikes with a long wheel base (i.e. extended front forks) have a tendancy to drop when going round corners (basic physics really). So to avoid any more accidents he has lifted my forks up to slightly decrease the wheelbase and give me more manouverability. Ruthie is pleased to report: no injuries. But I'd rather not fall off again. My baby has now been in for its 600 mile service and I’m delighted to report that ignition problems have now been solved.

It's usually the case that you get used to these things with time. The ignition however is strictly a Sale and Supply of Goods Act 1994 issue! Go and kick retailer ass.

The ignition is functioning intermittently and I've fallen off twice as I can't get used to the weight distribution on the extended front forks. So now I am sure that this bike is male: handsome but unreliable. Unfortunately I’ve been having a few problems with the bike.
