Up until quite recently I believed that my old bikes were perfectly suitable for day-to-day travel, just as they had been when they were new.

I was returning home after a ride and the engine started to die. This was not unexpected as I knew the fuel level was a bit low so I turned the fuel tap round to reserve.
I was not in the best place at a busy traffic light junction in three lanes of traffic, but I knew the engine would pick up in a few seconds. Except it
