Neithers kicking wing mirrors off. But that is what my mate does when someone pulls out in front of him, say's it'll teach em to look harder next time!!!!

Sunday was fab. Hit my first 3 figure run of the year, sun was out, roads dry and no breeze. Still grinning from ear to ear

Only got the Yamaha alarm. Ran it today after charging full, came home and battery took 2 hours to recharge so could be battery is shot. Ride to work and back is only 20 miles.

Thanks, just that I had a Guzzi for 4 years and if you left it for more than 2 weeks it was flat. I have an accumate and that is on now. Just wondered if there was a known problem. Thanks.

Been riding for just over 30 years and always nod, as you say it is common courtesy. In the 70's the AA patrol bikes always nodded and would wave you down if there were police in the area. As is mentioned previously, when the dry weather riders are out, there tends to be fewer of them who nod or wave. BTW I only wave below 40mph, above that I nod. Like to keep both hands on the bar you see.

This has probably been covered before, but a trawl of the site didn't show anything immediately (instant coffee isn't fast enough today). I have a 2005 FZ6 Naked and all has been well until this morning. It stood for about 2 weeks whilst i was on holiday and at the weekend I cleaned it, checked oil water & tyres etc replacing the rear bulb which had mysteriously gone after last parking up. After cleaning, I ran the bike to ensure that everything was still OK then put it to bed!! This morning I pulled the bike out the garage and the battery was as flat as a pancake, whilct I can deal with this anyone any thoughts as to why ion the course of 2 days it goes from starting first time to being flat? I know that this sounds a simple issue, but I've been cursed with flat batteries in the past and push starting does not appeal and not knowing whether the bike is going to start or not sort of takes the edge of going to your bike to ride home or to work. Thanks.
