Yea and apparetnly there is only one battery that will work in my bike.
Went to Bay Bat today to see if they had cheaper (Forman at work says they have cheap bats for anything there) but the bat for my bike is $169 from them. Same one I got from Bayride at $110.
Gonna give all the bike shops a ring and see what happens. If I find it cheaper and bayride decide not to give me another one under warrenty then I'll buy the cheaper. If I don't find one and they don't then I'll have to buy another one from them.

Hopefully, they'll just replace it no charge (heh...) and I wont have to worry about it.

lol yea just got you voice mail too. The quoted price was for a Yuasa though, may go back tomorrow and see if they can do a different brand. Not too worried about the 2 year warantee on the Yuasa as apparently that only covers faults in the battery and not anything that may happen within a certain time frame.

Lovely bike too :-)

Didn't look best pleased when he dropped it into the hay bales on the hairpin though.

He didn't drop it, jared love took him out when he tried to dive up the inside. And yeah he was pissed, particularily considering he was in first place at the time, and then love went and binned it at the end of the main straight anyway. 4th in the robert holden and 2nd in the next bears race was a good consolation tho, nicko showed some outstanding form on sunday (he was even a good bastard and looked after our gear for us).

while we're on the subject, anyone recognise the daytona 600 he had for sale in the pits?

Yes, I reckognised it.

Shit Nicko is a good bastard huh? I was stoked to see him get 4th in the Robert Holden Memorial. He's going to the Sound of Thunder this weekend, so is missing out on the Manfield round of the Nats

Okay, so there is an oko ride, who else is doing what?
If you reply after 4:30 I won't be online so send me a txt.
