:cuss  I am a very late apology.
 
Left the pub after a farewell drink to find that the battery on Candy has died.  :'(

RAA got me started again, but she's not holding charge. I've managed to get the 42km home, with the ABS warning light coming on about a third of the way back. I'm hoping that is related to the battery.

Unfortunately, I also have the flag. :-[

Sorry you can't make it.....   :'(

Here are my pictures from the RTE.  I've put a ride report for my trip in the ride reports forum.

I nearly followed in your footsteps after leaving the indicator on overnight, leaving the battery without enough umph to turnover.  Likewise the RAA got me going and I didn't shut it down until I got to Port Wakefield.  It held it's charge and I completed the day without incident.
