Ffffreeeezzing!

The weather has been quite wintery of late. That's to be expected as we are more than a fortnight into February.

So after an afternoon walking the dog down by the sea in bright sunshine I booted the bike.

It needed the dbpower unit to get it started. I togged up and set off. Just a 25 mile run along the coast towards the sun thst seemed to set a bit too quickly and then it was freezing.

Body okay buy my fingertips were frozen. 

Nice to get out though.  Tomorrow is Meldrews' Sunday.

In the summer it charges and holds that charge and although I keep the dbPower unit to hand I rarely have to use it.  But in winter it barely has the power to turn the engine over. It's simply "clunk". The lights come on though and that probably doesn't help. So what to do? Being a fair weather biker nowadays I won't be using the bike that often until the new year. Do I get a new battery sooner rather than later? It might end up freezing away in the garage. I have a garage in a block away from the house with no power, so a trickle charger is no use either. I have been looking at a replacement though.  A  Motobatt  with a high cranking power should be around £75. So unlikel...
