The Derby Dismount

My post was a joke - sorry Brockett humour is not normal.

Good audition for the new Bond Mick

(Glad you and the bike were both OK)

This is the magic box, very handy, it charges from a USB port    https://www.amazon.co.uk/NOCO-GB40-UltraSafe-Lithium-Starter/dp/B015TKUPIC/ref=asc_df_B015TKUPIC?tag=bingshoppinga-21&linkCode=df0&hvadid=79852089215476&hvnetw=o&hvqmt=e&hvbmt=be&hvdev=c&hvlocint=&hvlocphy=&hvtargid=pla-4583451664097484&psc=1

It is currently £30 cheaper on Amazon compared to Halfords.

That's a good price 

We've an earlier version, been using it for some years now without fault.

[Barbel Mick]

It's a great bit of kit. Quite compact & ideal for a car but a little too large to store on a motorcycle, I think. Although when touring with panniers or even if you use a top box it would be great.
I might look for a smaller version just for the bike.

The missus bought one from Toolstation after all the issues she had with the stupid BMW trakker flattening her battery even though it was unsubscribed. Ironically her bike has been fine ever since she got the Trakker properly de-activated but the battery booster has bailed out a couple of other bikes (Both Beemers as it happens) when they went flat on tour. Fits under the seat, only snag is it can't be charged via USB but it can be charged via lighter socket or DIN I believe.

Oh and these are back in UK stock after a long delay.
Pulled the trigger, will report back once I get chance to test it out.

£50 with the trade card

I've helped start a few cars outside work - it's got to the point where one bloke was relying on me to start his car... a few blokes had to push him down the road last week as I was off work

I was really concerned at first that something was really wrong due to the direction of the gravity test, which was opposite in direction the café!

Glad you're OK Mick

[Whiterose]

Bought one of these last week, fits perfectly under the seat of our strom.

Josh, the cafe was closed, I was just trying to get away quick......but failed! 

[TLPower]

Are you sure that's what really happened Mick?

Are you absolutely positive that is what happened?

I suggest you were simply making your desire for a suet based pudding through the power of mime.

Roly.
