True, dat!

Mind you, I have had to make use of 'roadside assistance' for my Guzzi Cali once, after a starter relay failed on the second last day of a Tour de Tas.
I have RACV's Total Care, which includes towing of bikes [using a purpose-built motorcycle transporter ute, in the Greater Melb area at least].

A fellow Guzzista mate towed the bike off the boat at Port Melbourne, and I just parked it and pulled out the mobile phone to call the RACV Motorcycle Towing Service... Moto One in Oakleigh were able to sort it out straight away, replacing the 'known to be crap' Siemens relay with a Bosch one they had in stock, which was great service.

To return to our muttons a bit here,

Sowerberry, FYI ODK has the official Briggs Repair Manuals available as free PDF downloads for ODK subscribers; they're HERE
