    It is a great bike. Enjoy. Was it as simple as a dead battery? Very lucky you are.

    Haha congrats man on a bloody good buy. Was looking at that as another project but others hit my eye first.

    Looks like you got a damn good deal then.
    You know you had a good nite when you have to ask someone if you had a good nite.

    hehehe I had bought with the idea it may be a major but had a funny feeling it was an easy fix....

    gonna charge the battery today and see how it holds.....

    cant wait to take it out for a cane

    oh, and battery was 'dead' as such, just didnt have enough juice to crank it?
    kinda like the LINK EMS I have in my gazelle, drops below a certain level and it doesnt want to know

    Heh, not many people associate dash (temp gauge) problems with bad battery connections

    Heh I know that bike. It used to get a fair bit of air over a speed bump outside our place several times a day! You can be sure there'll be no cobwebs to blow out of that one!
