dunno, after getting in my car to go get the charger from the shop...i turned on the radio, and The Beatles were playing....nearly pulled over to rip the radio out, right there and then, and chuck it!
that was a cruel blow.....as i really really really hate The Beates!
Is all good, now battery is on charger, had my Snitty pack, drinking beer....life is good again!

I know. I was Googling all over for a "Snitty pack", walked out side and looked at all the billbords, came back in, Googled some more and at least found a "Chook shop.....

Drinking beer while injured come's with a price ... went from 84kg to 90kg while recovering from my knee surgery.
Today the first time on a hometrainer ... trying to get fit again
Hope your battery gets his juice soon and you can go for a ride, can't wait untill I can get on the bike myself. :thumbup:

Btw Wolfman, is there any truth that bump starting fuel injected bikes, or just any of the newer generation bikes with all the electrics can cause damage?
ya reckon.....more like Pearl Jam! or the Police, or The Doors...all of which, are in there right now...or a bit of Ministry of Sound...like my doof doof too!
Dont mind some Dire Straits though!

I've only heard it in rumours, and from mechanics who have been erring on the side of caution, but apparently (according to them) it can send a surge through the electrics, or with the fuel injected bikes do some damage to the system.
Putting a battery charger on a modern bike, while it is still connected to the bike, can cause big issues....always disconnect battery before attaching trickle charger...dont know how it screws it up....but i think it has got to do with too much current, or surges, or something...

Mad like crazy not angry
Happy to hear that you are healing up well, sad to hear that you were'nt able to to jump on that awesome bike and take advantage of it.
Can't wait to hear about your ride tomorrow though

Glad to hear you are doing better Jamie, too bad about the ride, oh well. Is the ankle progressing along well?
My battery tender has a pigtail that's connected to the terminals, simply plug-and-play.

Welcome back to two wheels Jamie! :steve:
As for the tender, mine is hard wired to the battery. Plug and charge without any issues.
