Well, the battery has charged and fired up the bike, so as long as it holds enough charge to fire it up for the next 20 minutes I'll see you all there. I seriously overestimated the time it would take to get dressed and fit the battery, so I'm sat here in all my biking clobber ...

... quote from them and they couldn't get down to the Bennetts quote of 115 quid for my bike with it's current mods. Will definitely give them a shout next year when I get more mods, seem like really nice guys. However it is with a heavy heart that I report the following quote on an email from Bennetts ...

... Gave it a quick wash, cleaned and lubed the chain, then took it for a quick blat. My god I'd missed riding. Also moved the track bike to it's next temporary home.

Doing nowt today....MAJOR rainfall expected here for the next four days.....a lot of families will probably lose their homes.

... me that's a big endorsement. Nooj really knows his stuff when it comes to cleaning. Which reminds me, must book the bike in for a valet over the next week or two.

... false; Ah - Boston Style. If you find some Samuel Adams, its quite distinctive. Will have to sort out a trip to your local next time I'm over (y)

... cope. But that would involve forward thinking by the government.... It will be interesting as many more electric cars come out this year and the next few what happens about capacity - especially on the road network. Fights at service areas on motorways :D

... that i waited for this morning, oh no. it was their god given right to be on the road and the whole world must stop for them.... Well not next time arsemonkies !!

... gone for a motobatt, Yuasa have served me well but the advertised 20% extra CCA and a 2 year warrenty is appealing. Lets hope it arrives before next Sunday and the bike "just works" after that,

Hope you get some decent charge in her before next week mate

... The battery on the RSV is flat and as I can't remebmer when I last changed it, I'm going for a new one over having to call the RAC out when it next lets me down... I've always had Yuasa and they've never cause me any real issues, but I'm guessing battery tech has moved on over the years. Should ...

... it's been say outside quite a few parts have mould on the them, but i decided to ignore that for the moment and fire her up in preparation for next weekend. Well, this is the first time in nearly 7 years of owning her that she failed to start on the button :| not even a flicker.. Put the charger ...

Yep. It was a case I bought last year. Somehow it's disappeared tonight. Next weekend we will be in Bologna eating and drinking proper Italian food and drink. Can't wait.

Well. Won't be riding it for the next few days! 43-45 degC forecast. Once was enough. Hopefully it'll cool down enough next week to get out on it while the kids are at school.

... have to share with 20 others in a communal car park and we seem to be getting more and more vans at the moment and they all want to be parking next to our cars even though there's spaces for 40!!
