    I was a very naughty boy at the weekend.

    As the new bike has an alarm fitted and it's been sitting in the garage for the last week running the battery down, I had to take it out around the block - just to recharge the battery you understand - I mean, I don't want to be seen as a law breaker or anything.
    Suprisingly, I have found that I live on a very big block and it takes me at least 2 hours to get around.

    I have to say, I love the new steed, and can't wait until I can get out more on it. Now all I need to learn is how to get it into the higher gears without scaring the shit out of myself. It has just a little more power than the CBX. Oh Yeh!
    Bring on the summer.......

    Good on ya mate.

    If you really are worried about being too naughty, just buy a battery tender and leave the bike in the garage and don't ride it. Otherwise I guess just keep suffering the pain from the worry like you did doing the 2 hour block.
    Cheers

    Gosh, don't tell us that you're on the L plate/Restricted and rode a bike twice the capacity of your legal limit? Shame on you! Quite a buzz eh, when you realise just how much better anything other than a 250 can be. Some would say except a Honda NSR or whatever they are. Or perhaps an Aprilia...

    Hi Merv,
    After buying the bike, I don't think the funds could stretch to a battery tender. I will just have to keep enduring the pain. And believe me, I have a very high pain threshhold
    PS. Is it January yet?

    Oh my god! They locked up Kenny...

    You keep a weather eye out laddie. I'll tell you a secret one day.
    They shall not grow old as we that are left grow old.
    Age shall not weary them nor the years condemn.
    At the going down of the sun and in the evening,
    we will remember them

    Yeah... I'm still on my Restricted but have an RF900 in the garage! Well, rode it a couple of times but thought maybe I should keep my head down an stay on my 250 till I get the full...

    Same for me Bend-it. I'll stay on the CBX and just
    I also agree about the Insurance and legality. Incorrect licence = no insurance and the legality - well that goes without saying.

    So I'll just have to pine for a couple of months. Just making sure the battery is kept charged.

    FINE. This is the word women use to end an argument when they are right and you need to shut up.
