This brings up an important point in electronics testing. One reason it is hard
to find bad grounds is that using an ohm meter to test for continutity to ground
can create a *false* ground...even using high-impedance meters. Undoubtedly
that is why the Goldwing ran with the lights on - switching on the headlight
created a new path to ground.
Thanks for the story!
