Was doing a 160km return trip between Lichtenburg and Zeerust. On the way back to Lichtenburg while doing 130-140km/h I heard a soft cracking sound, saw my visor had bug guts all ofer and noticed I have no power on the GSA. I quickly looked at the instrument cluster and noticed the fuel and heat gages didnt show any thing. Then it struck me.... a bug hit the kill switch....by grace I puled in the cluch(cause the bike was still in 6th gear and wouldent have started again if I didnt pull in the cluch) and pressed the happy button...reved it, and saw(cause you can not hear it starting again at that speed) on the rev counter it was reving again, let out the cluch and was on my way again.

In hind site, I realized that all of this hapened in about 2 seconds, in a turn, and by grace I kept my cool in the situation.
