it's the first time in years... :(


in the past I've always gone out every two to three weeks to start bike up and run it for 10 odd minutes just to make sure all is well.... for the winter lay=off..

well this time I've left it for 2 months!!... TWAT... yep it's flat as a pancake..:no:

gunner get one of them "optimate" Joby's to give me battery a boost..


lesson learnt....

optimate has tried to revive the battery back.... it has put a charge in it and it worked!! but it won't hold a charge for long... think it has a dead cell..:(

think I'll give one of them Gel-batteries a go... have had a read up on them.. looks like they would suit me better than the MF ones..

Think my battery may be on its way out as the optimate has shown "weak" a couple of times... but checked tonight and its still showing "green" :D

Well.... the weather folks say it's going to get warmer this week....

looks like we may have a cracking weekend on the 26th & 27th April...

think I'll put the word out... if Sunday's looking good... gather the gang and see who's up for a punt over to the east coast.... TBH we all are ready for run...:)
