Guess who is sat outside waiting to be recovered because their falco is refusing to start...
Estimated recovery time? 21.09 and I'm less than a mile away from home...

Pete - it's usually Pete .....
Wassup with it Dale (in a bit more detail than "refusing to start")?

Less than a mile and posted at 19.21 seems like you could push it and be home well before well the recovery team are scheduled to arrive. That'll save you a trip to the gym. Bonus!
Don't put off 'till tomorrow what you can enjoy today

I went to turn it over and it started doing the classicas clocks reset thing, indicating low on juice. Think it might be time for a new battery now, just wish it had done it before I spent 300 quid on it, wouldn't have bought new levers then..
Just waiting for a man with some electricity to give me a jump start.

I have too much pride. If it was midnight I might be up for it! But not now...

/eyes Andy and points out .... Stuff...
Let's face it, you wouldn't go to a nurse to get good advice on a problem with a Falco - you'd choose an Engineer or a mechanic...

Of course you don't - your bike won't go.

I can also do batteries (Yuasa, not cheapy poo). Again, I fear postage may be a sale-killer though.
