Guess wot...? Exactly the same has just happened to me...! I work in Nigeria, so away for a month at a time. The bike hasn't been riden for about 6 months due to the .....terrible weather up here in Aberdeen and me being away. It has always been connected to an optimate 3. I tried to start it today and it wouldn't start ! It did however start first time with a jump start from a car. Looks like I'll need another another battery....and maybe a different trickle charger. (The battery is only 2 years old and the bike has only done 2500 miles...!!!)

I\'m back baby ... sort of
 

and ... THERE WAS LIFE!

Had the bike going last night BUT .... the PC 680 I bought for it is around 5mm too wide so I'm having to mess around with some cable ties to sort me out :mad:

At least it's going and I should be able to get to Cadwell. Although I will be down one mirror as I snapped the screw for it when I dropped it. I'll have it with me though if someone has a screw? (Behave, you know what I mean :saint: )
