'grays on the new bike Zippy! 
 
The temperature may have changed enough to squeeze a few more amps from the battery....  Either that, or it's trying to find your limits.  Like a misbehaven child!  
 
Hi all; I'm new to the forum as well.  I'm guessing most of you are located in Gr Brit, from the town names like Glacoustershire, etc (the only "shire" I know is from LOTR.)  I'll just preemptively apologize for spelling "color" wrong and accept the fact that if a say truck, I mean lorrie.... 
 
Anyway, I have a 1979 750 Yamaha xs  
- it's the worst bike ever 
- it's also the best ever!   
My wife visits her own forum at a Suzuki site.... Poor thing.    We've been riding about 4 years, but I ride year round, except when it's actively snowing, and not below 15 degrees (-10 C.) 
 
That's about it.   
 
Oh, WTF is a "quid?" some amount of money, I guess.
