[QUOTE] I'm on for Saturday if you still are, I presume all bets are off if it rains. You wouldn't want to get the new bike dirty would you :).[/QUOTE] Cool. Weather looks dry at the moment, so I'm on. Morning or afternoon? And are you happy with just a simple potter down to Stratford? [QUOTE] My mate Emma might want to tag along though so there might be one 'anti-gixer', unless I can persuade my old neighbour to lend her his 1100 widow(er) maker :)[/QUOTE] Aye, more the merrier to witness me being slower than Ginge. Jon, Daz, you fancy it? [QUOTE] Actually I say I'm on but if I can't get mine started then I'm not. A comedy time was had this morning with Claire having disconnected the Optimate over christmas to use the tumble dryer.[/QUOTE] Stick it on for a couple of days an it'll be fine. [QUOTE] I was greeted by the obligatory "chug chug bzzzzt" sound of a bike not starting. After a couple of abortive efforts pushing it up and down our road I resorted to 4 wheels[/QUOTE] You can't bump start it with a totally flat battery as there is no power to the injectors and therefore no fuel. You would have been able to jump start it off your car though. [QUOTE] :(. Still I'm hoping a day on the Optimate will undo the damage done by 3 weeks on the alarm![/QUOTE] Should do. Battery is pretty new.
