Hi Colin..
I am a REAL biker 
My bikes have never been hibernated over the winter..
OK I wont set out in the pouring rain, but if it rains whilst I am out I dont curse nor panic !
Incidentally I have NEVER hooked any of my bikes up to battery charging devices.
As you know my bikes live outside under a decent cover and yet NEVER have I been affected by none starting caused by a flat battery!
Last winter we had a long spell of exceptionally shite weather so my then Honda CB1300 hadnt event been started for 3 weeks..
Yet when I came to start her it was as though I had started her 5 minutes ago.

On a slightly separate note, with all my bikes if they have after market alarms I get them removed and set back to standard!
When I bought the Honda I said to the dealer "I will have the bike but will you remove that cr@p"?
He said "Yeah but your insurance will go up"!

I thought I would be totally straight with the insurance company and inform them that the bike no longer had a third part alarm..
Do you know how much the insurance premium ROCKETED up by ??
£12 !!

I shall just suffer that horrendous increase in the name of a healthy battery and trouble free starting!
I have 2 friends that work for both the RAC and AA (Breakdown recovery services).. Both of them said that the number 1 cause of their call out to bikes was battery problems mostly caused by add on alarm systems !
So thats why I choose not to have an alarm fitted... And I dont need a battery tender charging system !

Thank you for your vote of confidence..
I know i may be biased but I think the wheels fit in well with the bikes original colour scheme.

Thanks again,

Now come on Speedy you are confusing Colin with Col or is it Col with Colin.
I'll go over it one more time to make it clearer.
KC = Col= South Island.
KF= Colin= North lsland
Clear as mud now ?? 

Silver Fern = NZ
Blonde Fern =  lol
