Anyone on the North Shore got an old battery?

[sidecar bob]

A plausible story but one unlikely to lead me to offer even a small discount.

I wasnt refering to me, I havent touched that shit for 27 years now, I was just throwing it out there for your consideration.
I cant work out how people can manage their finances down to nil so accurately every week. Id be quite concerned if i hadnt been able to save $2 a year over the course of my life for what was going to be a guaranteed eventuality.

Does spending all your spare cash on tramadol count as a plausible sob story?

Fixed it for you, probably lead to a better discount

I knew it wouldn't be you, mate.

I agree, so few actually work out what they are going to need and save for it, eg. vehicle expenses, power, water, rent/rates/mortgage, and so on. They will never know the peace of having an expense arrive and having the money there to pay it.

If you can't afford to run a bike/car/hovercraft, etc. you can't afford to buy it.

I was gobsmacked the other day when told how much a roll of tobacco costs now!

Cool, then perhaps you could reciprocate by giving a needy soul a 2nd hand Shorai

You could show us hows its done and pay for one.

When I call one "second hand", it's still able to carry full warranty. I have given away the occasional "faulty" one that won't come up perfect. Usually one that has been damaged by the owner but still carries most of its charge. These have no warranty and are taken on that understanding.

And there's needy and there's needy, not always genuinely needy but would like a freebie.

I'd be willing to chip in for one, would you?

Id be willing to give the guy a days work so he could earn one for himself.
But then if Manurewa is a bit far to go to get something for free then Tauranga will be out of the question.

Are you going to be able to roll off your mum long enough to make it down?

Fucking whiney imbred.

Go jack off in someone else's thread.

You sound like such a nice, deserving young character. I'd be bending over backwards to help this one. (That was sarcasm incase anyone is a bit slow on the uptake).

Thread hijack but on this topic, a friend that's new to riding has ended up with a dead battery (charged it and it held no charge) and also needs something for her Scorpio. Turns out new riders aren't real confident bump starting a bike everywhere. anybody got a spare little one for a Scorpio? Think it's a 7AH, the skinny ones.

Sure, but it really depends on the riding she does and how much she wants to spend. I think you can pick those ones up pretty cheaply from the likes of Supercheap and Repco. Shorai will last a lot longer though so they are better value for your dollar, ie: cheaper in the long run.

The cheaper the better. I'll check SCA/Repco but the shit ones off TradeMe might do the job for now.

Sigh. Young people. One good is better than ten bad. Spend a very small amount more, get a good one. Edbear is totally on the money with it being cheaper in the long run.
