So far it's leaning towards the mobo or PSU. Both are a bit out of the 3-year warranty period.

"Create a society that values material things above all else. Strip it of industry. Raise taxes for the poor and reduce them for the rich and for corporations. Prop up failed financial institutions with public money. Ask for more tax, while vastly reducing public services. Put adverts everywhere, regardless of people's ability to afford the things they advertise. Allow the cost of food and housing to eclipse people's ability to pay for them. Light blue touch paper." — Andrew Maxwell

The person who rear ended me whilst I was sat at the lights on my motorcycle this afternoon. 

 

“I saw the lights go green and I thought you’d gone”!!

 

 

 

 This is not Santa Pod Raceway. The sequence isn’t “red light, green light, dump clutch and floor it”!

 

 

 

I have to say that I prefer the UK light sequence which goes red, red + amber, green as it gives more warning of the pending green and possibly (🤞) additional time for people to look in front of them before booting it off the line. 

 

Now my bike needs a new number plate hanger and a careful check in the dealer to ensure nothing less obvious is damaged or out of alignment. 

 

I have my 6R assessment coming up soon and I can’t take it on a bike that’s not road legal.

They had some temporary lights near me once that did that. They were great, but only lasted a day or two before being reconfigured to go straight from red to green.

Red plus orange means get ready; orange alone means start braking (and don't go back to full throttle 😁). I’ve never known it any other way (except on taxiways for aircraft).
