I hate the sight of a certain orange light.

Is there a more unwelcome sight than the engine warning light on a dashboard?

Thankfully it's on the car this time.  :icon_evil:
Is it really an adventure bike if its wheels never see dirt?

Is that why the used cars I buy have the engine warning light bulb missing?  :icon_rolleyes:

It should be called the "induce worry light" but that is its true function.

In my experience, when it comes on it is usually something trivial.  It came on in the car the other week when we were heading south to California. Needless to say the first dealer we came to was uninterested in spending the 2 minutes it would tale to plug in the OBD gadget, so we carried on. After three stop/start cycles it went off, so it was probably on because the fuel cap was not tight enough... I now have my OBD sensor gadget in the glove box, just in case.
