Battery seems to have died and dumped me several miles from home. A friend is coming with a trailer to pick me up.

I'll have to check that it's not the alternator or RR when I get home, but I'm pretty sure it's just the battery. Bike ran perfectly last time I rode it a short while back, but when I went to start it yesterday the battery was totally flat, not even any dash lights. I hooked it up to the charger and charged it for 6 or 7 hours but it wouldn't show a green on the charger. Hooked it up again this morning for another hour and still no green. It did have enough in it however to start the bike so I thought (foolishly!) that I'd give it a run.

Now sat on the side of the road about 12 miles from home waiting for my friend with the trailer. ��
