Back from Germany tomorrow after 2 weeks away. Will El Falco start? Been left in the workshop without an optimate, so wonder if the battery has held it's charge.

Prize? You do realise that I have to work to pay the rent, put food on the plate, buy bits for the bike and then by clothes for the daughter. (In that order).

Yes Blinkey, you can phone a friend, I may get you t call the AA at about 1730 tomorrow

Course it'll start. It's a Falco. Have you ever known one to NOT start. Ever?

If no alarm fitted then yep it'll start no problem.
If however, you have an alarm & it is wired up in working condition................. I would go and get a new battery ready, spares for a starter sprag & download the full workshop manual just incase

You missed the option of getting whoever is nearby to get it on a charger before you get back

I had that option, but the idle bastard started moaning about it. Christmas duties for him I think.

Got back and it started first time, no probs
