Harumph! Broken down while out for a ride. RACQ is on the way. Battery went caput. All OK

Double harumph! Wasn't the battery at all -how do I know this! Because the new one I just bought for $120 also went flat on the way home!!!

After 2nd rescue - home safe and will have to investigate further - Alt not charging, no headlights, no heated grips. Windscreen works. Will check all fuses first, then dig deeper for answer.

You mean they didn't check to see if the alternator was charging the first time you called them.

Obviously Diesel you need to tow a trailer containing a large genset to run all your Farkles.

When we fit the new one, I asked him to check the cranking volts and running volts with his multimeter. This revealed that the alt was not charging. He couldn't do anything more for me at that stage - other than offer a tow.

This may explain why the battery is getting run down, dam funny read, I can hear Diesel saying this with a rum in hand.

On a previous bike I've had to ride home with lights off due to an alternator failure, but back then we could turn the lights off. Still had to push the bike the last three or four kms.

This seems a good place to put this.

One of my twin grand-daughters gave birth to a girl, Ruby Cheyenne Rose at 9:45 pm. That's all the info my daughter gave.

Interesting is that there are now five generations alive on my side of the family and at 57 I don't feel as old as Great whatever.

Congrats Alan.

Five generation alive in mine too.

A GREAT Grandfather!! Strewth, they sure start having 'em young in your family! I'm older than you, and it will be another 12 years at a minimum before I'm a great grand-daddy!

I think it was a case of passion exceeding the availability of birth control at the time or other words to that effect.

The twins turn 18 in two weeks time, doesn't seem that long ago when they were born.

Back to the subject of Grandpas...

A six-year-old goes to the hospital with his mother to visit his Grandpa. When they get to the hospital, he runs ahead of his mother and bursts into his Grandpa's room. "Grandpa, Grandpa," he says excitedly, "as soon as my mother comes into the room, make a noise like a frog!"
"What?" said his Grandpa.
"Make a noise like a frog because my Mum said that as soon as you croak, we're all going to Disneyland!"

Looks like Heather has inherited a Magna Wagon from her auntie.

Not sure what year yet but 1985-1990 (TM, TN TP).

Biggles · « **Reply #245 on:** June 20, 2013, 08:41:08 PM »

"Lucky Heather"! Why didn't her Auntie like her?

If you take the seats out they make a very average chook house.

Neale · « **Reply #246 on:** June 20, 2013, 08:45:33 PM »

At least it would be clean. No self respecting chook would poop in it.

Know where you're coming from Wombat. Took me 10 minutes the other day to convince Loppie that farkling was not a porn term and that I was about to farkle my bike was not evidence that I loved it more than her (although that could be debated).
