Back in Oz. Am suffering from "Minsk Throttle Syndrome" whereby you exit your driveway on one wheel for 15 feet unintentionally, but it's still fun. Thus I exit my street in spectacular fashion past the removing truck guys that give a cheer. Front wheel gently kisses down (I was going slightly uphill), to my horror I have to pull the bike over almost immediately due to a mechanical/electrical gremlin. Testing the machines full diagnostics, I discovered all primary functions were operational. Ignition system, lights, indicators, trip meter, computer, clock. The horn has ceased to function. 

I had a blast in Hanoi. Am getting picckys done to disc. 5 rolls. Will select "rippers" and post to you later (ie: when I can be bothered)

Thanks for trip, Sydneys sooooo boring in comparison. Hope to get back.

Cheers for your guidance, I always felt safe.

Have tempered my riding style in Sydney for current moment...

ps: It's really nice to have brakes again
