As I remember Roy was having some health issues. May not be readily available these days. Weird as I was thinking of him yesterday and was going to PM him to see how things were going. I'd be patient.

Maybe someone could send him a PM and check on his welfare?

Sounds like he’s upright and taking nourishment. I asked him if he could check in.

Glad he's doing ok - way back in 2013 he referred me to Old Jock for some electrical issues on my LMII. Always appreciate the time the experts give to others on the forum!

No electrical issues since then by the way :grin:

Sorry to hear about Kiwi Roy's health issues.  Will send up prayers.  I am one of many he helped work on electrical issues.  He was super patient and clear in helping me understand what to do.

Glad to see you back, Roy. What little I know about electricity has been from your teachings. You are one of the guys that have really helped with my Guzzi education. If I haven't told you before..THANKS!  :smiley:

Glad to hear you are on the mend, Kiwi Roy. Your sage electrical advice is the best, and like someone else said ,you make it easy for us simpletons to understand.
Thanks Man, take care,

When I'm describing this community to others, I tell them "There's this guy on the other side of the planet who lays awake nights worrying about my electrical system, and in the morning he sends me marked up wiring diagrams and troubleshooting instructions!"

I stroked in the fall of '22 Roy, you have my sympathies. Hang in there, nutrition, PT, all that.
