Only my old BSA single cylinder motorcycle, which was admittedly not a first class new machine (it was WELL used before I got it!) was REALLY a dreadful beast. the electrics were only a part of the horrendous package deal! Lemme put it this way. It was GREAT fun when it ran. But don't count on it to get you to work on a daily basis eh. that is when I learned to rely on a bicycle!

Then again, maybe a bike light is so simple that even Lucas could not
screw it up.
