Oh good. Never had the problem since. Glad you like Holland. What we don't have in scenery we make up for in good times. 

Skill
I had the same thing happen to me whilst on holiday in Spain. Having seen this reported by others on 'another forum', the answer is to give the 'cooker knob' a good belt with the side of your fist.
I know this sounds daft but sometimes the make/break contacts in the ignition, dont. Giving it a good whack forces a reset. It sorted mine out, I then gave it a good spray with ACF50 and have had no problems since.

Hope this helps

Welcome back Liz,

What made ya move to De Nederlanden and where in Holland are ya?
Not exactly the best biking country in the world.
Too many Gatsos and straight flat roads.

My pics from the 2008 Ace Cafe day are here.

They were great days (before the ****ing credit crunch).

Hey Big B. Well just after the Ace Cafe do  I got made an offer in The Hague that was worth a look and we just love it so much we decided to stay. So last year we finally sold up in France and settled here. No. It's not good biking country, but 3 hours from the Ardennes and 1.5 hours from the German border or 20K from the Hoek van Holland or Europoort so we're really well connected! This summer we're over in the UK for a ride down to West Wales with our daughters and their partners, then over to Camarthen for FJR owners do. Old habits die hard!!!!

Right  - o. Sulk over.

Yup, that would be me.

I used to post on there.  Hallo all. Got my GTR in 2007 then moved to France, imported my bike there. Then moved to the Netherlands and my bike is now on Dutch plates. Went to the Ace Cafe do in 2008 and met up with a few peeps. Might have a look for some photos from then.  There are lots of us women riders around, but we often keep our own company because there's quite a lot of 'flaming' on bike sites but also cos we're often viewed as either in need of advice and improvement or obviously screaming lezzos. I put as my case as the first post in this thread. Personally I find that kind of thing demeaning so tend not to hang around forums that much any more. Sorry if that offends anyone, but I just voted with my feet.
