Lockdown Again!

We have just emerged from a Tier 4 lockdown that seems to have had no effect on slowing down the transmission of the Covid-19 spread and so from tonight at 0001 we are back into a more severe lockdown.

My shoulder is much better and I can ride the bike, but of course, a total lockdown means no ridey bikey!

Bollocks.

So now we must wait until and unspecified mid-February date when we might be allowed out of our houses for more than just limited socially distanced exercise (dog walks allowed)  and to hunt for food.

New Battery?

The weekend showed how weak the battery has become.  Having had to use the dbPower unit on four separate occasions during the day in Belgium was the giveaway. We are in the second winter of this problem where the battery isn't strong enough to start the bike. 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...

Six years with Pepe!

Pepe's insurance was renewed for another year today. So I thought as I have owned this monster for six years it was time to bring this blog to an end and import the contents to "On the Road Again". So that it what I have done.
