Sounds like a plan

Welcome aboard!

Cheers for that. Resigned myself to waiting for right one now. Borrowing my car tomorrow now!

I'm sure we've all done something similar at some stage or another - albeit in pre camera/mobile phone times. No evidence that I've ever done it!

So a 9ah battery just wouldn't charge unless I was revving the hell out of it?

So I'm thinking I could perhaps use a 9Ah? At 5000rpm I have charging capacity of 9A:

No worries - you've saved me wasting some money so thanks!

Ok. Cheers Jason. As I have my lights on all the time that's a no brainier. Looks like it's the car for me Monday!

Hi all hope someone can help me out here. I need to get a new battery as mine has died completely - can't hold a charge for more than a couple of miles. My problem is is that I need my bike working on Monday morning so have to get a battery tomorrow and cannot find anywhere with the correct battery in stock. Ideally I need 40A and 7Ah, the closest I can find is a 45A / 4Ah. It is my understanding that the Ah is how long it will hold a charge for. If this is right, would it be that big a deal on a '94 SR125 which is used daily and only basic electrics (lights etc) in use?

Almost didn't out this link on but thought what the hell. http://youtu.be/6o3B601Ndsg Just not an invite to slate cyclists!

I'll just have to look out for another ST then!

You know you're old when someone tells you the Karate Kid is 53!

Not so sure about your arse but the rear output sounds fine!

[emoji110][emoji110] You just make sure you don't run out of fuel or get your bike wet!

I'd love to go - not too far for me but Sunday is the only day a week I get to spend with the whole family

I've already booked the weekend off at work - I'm not missing an opportunity to be behind a certain Triumph! So whether it's year old sausage, greasy cod or finding somewhere to munch on cheesy jalapeño nachos I'll be there [emoji12]

Totally agree it's the people that make the event. Sorry to hear you're not coming Numan

Poster looks good.... What about the Stafford show? Though a ride into N Yorks sounds fun
