Seedys bad day - long and depressing

[seedy100]

Been on holiday for the wettest 2 weeks of the year (or so it seems) :(

Last day of my holiday :(

The sun was out this morning so - go for a ride :lol:

But theres some shopping to be done first :(

So ride over to BSE (local town) and meet wife and daughter there :lol:

Spend loads of money :(

Wife and daugher go home in car :lol:

Set off for ride on bike :lol:

Bike wont start :( :(

Battery seems Flat :(

Never mind - bump it down the hill :lol:

But it still wont start :(

Call the AA :shock:

They arrive in 15 mins :shock: :lol:

Bike starts immediatly from a jump :lol:

The battery charges :lol:

Run it fo 5 mins

Turn the engine off

Watch it discharge before my eyes :( :(

Diagnosis - Dead battery :( :( :(

Jump start it again

Off to the nearest dealers (Bowers) to buy a new battery :cry: :cry:

Pull up outside

DROP THE BIKE :oops: :cry: :cry: :cry: :oops:

Pick it up :help:

Go buy battery - £56.00 :shock: :cry:

Wait 3 Hrs for battery to be charged and fitted :smt102

Go home :smt041

Find out that the 159 mph cop has been found guilty of dangerous driving :P

But has been given an absolute discharge :smt070 WTF!

Your very Emoticons tonight... :wink:


hope not to much damage when you droppped her..

Is this where I make your day worse and say it might not have been the battery?

I had this with mine, replaced battery and was fine for about a week, then it died again. Due to the rectifier not charging the battery up. Hope its just the battery but if you start having problems again within a week Id say it would be the rectifier.

:P

Hope not much damage from the drop too.

Lynn, croosed my mind to.

But, since i dont know how to check the reg/rec and neither did the AA man, I decided to get the battery and hope.

The way my luck was going yesterday - its the rec.

Didnt he also get caught doing 83mph in a 30mph zone?

Shocking. One rule of them etc etc.

Maybe we should all be coppers :D

Dont suppose it was the slope to the left of Bowers shop that caught you out? Nearly come a cropper there myself before!

Im sure if you do a search theres stuff in Talk & Tweaking from Rictus or Sid Squid or one of the other knowledgeable peeps on the forum on how to test for it.

Failing that, Im sure a pm to either would solicit an extremely helpful response. :D
