Rode through the nasty weather and have finally made it back home. More later, have to ship a kid to soccer training.
Ok reality check dealt with (almost, got dinner to cook still!)
Still not sure what was the issue with the immobiliser. The kady staffing the petrol station I ended up being stranded at was kind enough to let me house the bike in the back garage of the station. Very nice of her. If you do get a chance to, please pop in and give her your business if you find yourself passing by the Lakes Way exit heading south on the Pacific Highway just south of Taree and are in need of a little fuel or refreshment. It is called Rainbow Flat Petrol Station.
I went back the next morning and the remote turned off the immobiliser with no problem at all. The owner remarked that she was also having some trouble getting her car to respond to her remote too, so maybe it was just a weird atmospheric thing or some EM noise.
Anyway, got packed up and did the whole trip back to Sydney in one hit without stops, lest I find myself without a starting bike again. Will investigate further tomorrow but now happy to be back and washed and ready to serve some tea to the little snotlings I missed so much.
Cheers, Shaun.
PS, I have lilly white legs too
