Difficult to get to my bike. it's in the back of the garage.
But I have to go to Southampton on Friday for a review meeting, so will dig it out and ride it down (weather permitting).
I keep the Garden Tractor, The Harley and my caravan charged with these http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/12V-ATV-CA...item3f12b3632e

Funny cos I put mb#1 (2002 Fazer 1000) on the Optimate overnight Friday cos it was dead and was still dead in the morning, so jumped it from the car and it was fine all day and started on Sunday too, the alarm saps the battery over a few weeks. mb#2 (06 FJR 1300) is currently SORN'd, gets started when home in Devon and left to run for a bit. What do you ride?Originally posted by nomadd View PostWashed motorbike number one and took it out for a blast on Saturday. Plan was to do the same with motorbike number two on Sunday - but the bugger had a flat battery. It's on the Optimate charger as we speak. Will go for a blast on it next weekend.

Up washing the Murano and the motorbikes on Sunday in the sunshine, F me that Murano is huge, compared to our previous cars, needed steps to wash the roof.

Drink drivers should be dragged from their cars and shot (in the face)Originally posted by pacharan View Post8 pints of Stella Saturday night.
Scene of crime: The Rowbarge, St Johns, Woking (doubt anyone here'll know that) .
Felt pretty rough driving back but stopped for a Whopper at Fleet and a game of Super Hang On. Won 20 quid on the fruitees to boot so didn't take me long to perk up.
I hope you weren't drink driving

We had to drop the twins at East Vigil an hour early for practice. Instead of spending the hour we went to the pub. It was GREAT! Fortunately as a Catholic drinking is compulsary - I only get dispensation to be teetotal as the even I am training for is for donations to the church.Originally posted by scooby View PostSo, corking day yesterday with the family, BBQ, then my 16yr old lad and his mate offered to sit for the girls so me and wifey could go out. So we did! First time together in over 4 yrs that we've "popped" out for a pint! Top day.
