Anyone manage to get out today?
Nice to see some dry roads this morning. A few bikers out to play on my ride to work so I could give the FZ a bit of a work out.

DT125 Electric not charging
Not sure if it helps but many of the older bikes need strong batteries to start them. My YA has a armature starter generator and the battery needs to be very good to start it.

Battery Instant Drain
What charger were you using? You can kill gel batteries if you don't use a correct one? I would also look for anything earthing out and draining the battery; a faulty switch or a wire touching earth.

IKEA do a washing up brush with a suction cup on one end. The bristles are just the right shape and hardness. If you can't get to ikea, people sell them on fleabay. They are 99p from ikea and a couple of quid from fleabay. One of those and some gunk should do it. Cleaning tips from me! Now that is scary.

2 Stroke gathering and YOC camping weekend 2014
It's his birthday soon, he is about 2 weeks older than me. I just rode around the block and there was a skip lorry dropping off a skip en route so I got about 2 laps in and and emergency stop.

SR125 MOT failure today �
Part failure is natures way of telling you a part needs replacing. The same as rain is natures way of washing bikes and stupidity is natures way to improve mankind.

2 Stroke gathering and YOC camping weekend 2014
Get a recovery package. Always an asset even if it is only a puncture that holds you up. Last year a few of us met in Nottingham - along the A1. Andrew on his SR (Cambridgeshire/Beds??), Cynic on his TDR250 (Northhants) and me on my Suzi TS250 (Leicestershire). I guess that it will be much the same this year except I will probably be on one of my RD400's and there was talk of possibly other members meeting up with us too. It is well worth the trip, even if you ride half way the night before and book into a hotel. 2wheels comes over from Ireland - at least once on his DT125 and Blackhat rides down from Scotland. I don't know any Southern based members who could ride up with you. There are a couple of videos of the Saturday rideout from Squires - on the Saturday - on my video wall. LINKY

Anyone use CB radio?
A bit like that Mike . As for why; I havent seen one in the flesh since the end of the AM era but I have been looking at classic cars for a while and keep getting drawn to Land Rover "series" era ones with bad everything, apart from looks. A radio would be useless as I wouldn't be able to hear it over the whine of the gearbox, axles and bits rattling around so I wondered if a CB would keep me interested. I know the Defender/90 was a leap forward in useability but if I was going to get one of those I would probably buy a new one as my "proper" car next year when my current car is 3 years old and due for a change.
