Fair enough I hadn't ridden my bike for a while over winter. I have to admit to being a fair weather rider but I tried to start the bike last week and the battery didn't have enough oomph in it to start the bike. I will deal with that when I have the time. Driving to work last Saturday the freeway was covered in fog so I turned my lights on. Yes guessed it already I forgot to turn them off. By four o'clock when it was finally time for me to go and of course I was in a hurry as we were going in to the home show after work the battery was nearly flat. I didn't have my battery pack with me as I had loaned it to no.1. son, so I was stuck. Called on no.3 son who was working around the corner and he came to my rescue.
Anyway getting to where I am going. Jumped in the car yesterday morning and flat battery. Guess the car hadn't recouperated fully from the weekend. No.1. son came to my rescue with the battery pack but he had forgotten to bring the packs charger. At work I parked in a downhill run just in case and good thing I did. At least it easily clutch started - thank goodness for manuals. I left it running in the drive for an hour before I went out last night and had no problem starting it again. It is looking like I will be up for a new battery but in the meantime I had better make sure I get the battery pack charger.
I have had enough of flat batteries and I still haven't started the bike.
