    anyone ridden a motard before?
    they look like fun!
    I asked God for a bike, but I know God doesn't work that way. So I stole a bike and asked for forgiveness.

    Yeah, I've been ringing around town this morning trying to locate a Motobatt. AFC seem to be the only crowd that stock them, but sold my model on Thursday

    If I have to order a battery, I may consider being a guinea pig for a Shorai battery. Not cheap, but I like the idea of not charging, serious grunt and saving about 3kg in weight.

    I just ordered mine off a trademe chap (Morrinsville I think), $90 including shipping....all good, and the best part about that price is not being concerned about getting a new battery every 3-5 years. Honda quoted me $285 for the Yuasa!

    $285? Shiiiit Honda must be getting worse. I got my last Yuasa YTX9LBS for $60, and the Kawasaki one cost me the same for a YB-12A.

    When I had to get one for the VTR (first battery I've bought in years) they quoted about $500 odd. Even they couldn't believe it so went a searching and found one with the same rating etc for a lot less.

    Best way to look after ya battery is to ride ya bike...

    Holy crap! Just checking out my youtube videos and the one of me pottering along behind Sarge towards Halcombe has had over 1,100 views! The only one with more is the Connie running without it's muffler
