  1. Charged the battery on the PP. Trouble is, I’m busy all next weekend, so by the time I get a chance to ride next, they’ll have probably started gritting the roads.

  7. Ok, so you just tease your flat batteries with the trickle charger…. Might be why peeps don’t come round yours if there’s a group ride, preferring to meet you somewhere to avoid pushing you and your bike up the street? :D

  10. Refitted the baffle on my winter bike after it blew it out going through Ledbury.
     
  11. I’ve never been convinced trickle charges don’t damage the battery over time when not in use. When I have used them, and bike hasn’t moved for a long time (over 12m), I’ve found the battery is US just as quick as if I let it discharge and every couple of months put the optimate back on for a month to cycle charge. Just that I haven’t done these two for probably 6m. And I have started since, so that would have drained and not had it replaced.

    I do, however, use in my car in the garage as two-three weeks it’s dead and the battery is very, very dead. So I live with that because it has a 5yr guarantee
     
  12. Balls. That’s that then.
     
  13. most people have a cigarette

  16. Ahhh
     
  17. Had an email the other day that my full six carbon belt covers were dispatched from conquest carbon
    . Had another email from royal mail today saying they would be delivered today by 6:30pm. So a bit bored this afternoon so took the fairing offer in readiness for fitting later today or tomorrow if it was getting late. What a surprise no parcel, an email saying sorry from royal mail that they will try to deliver on the next working day, so Monday.

  19. I shouldn't have bothered, no real rush to fit them and with weather like this the bike won't be going anywhere soon. I guess the excitement got the better of me, but hey I'm 48 and still get excited when I have a parcel coming
