You can still fuck around on cf even when you're sitting on a bike with a dead battery in downrown san fran while waiting for the aaa guy to come.

Oh, have I mentioned that I hate that the parking light on aprilias is too easy to leave on because of its key position? I didn't?

Well I do. :laughing

How about pushing it, hop on and jump start? Anyone try this with their bike?

You need some pretty good speed, esp with a twin, ive tried mine and its rough to do, but possible.

All Zuke's are like that to my knowledge. I can't tell you how many times I've pushed started a gixxer. Go figure, ride to work half asleep at 4 am, sometimes these things are going to happen.

I wanted an older one too but I couldn't find one locally. Maybe next year.

hard to push start a fuel injected bike, especially a twin. i'm home, the aaa guy came and was really cool. so now i just gotta remember if my trickle charger is here or in l.a.

 

[thunderex]

that'll teach it to fuck with me!

The aprilia slipper clutch makes push-starting a no-go.

Oh no they CAN be push-started...did it with my Mille.....though it DID take several tries down a hill and the resultant push back UP it! hehhehehee

I like to use my phone to terrorize my co-workers with anonymous e-mails (they don't know who it is) when I'm dropping the kids off at the pool. :clap

Did that with my girl's bike a couple of months ago. There was a period for a month where she didn't ride and the battery was too weak to start. Tried repeatedly for 5-6 minutes to push start it myself but no go (damn flat South Florida streets). Our neighbors across the way were leaving and they saw me and offered to help. I rode while they both pushed me and 5 seconds later it sputtered to life.

Bought a Battery Tender + after that experience. :thumb

You'll need a hill and a pusher to roll start an Aprilia IMO. Be sure you sit on the passenger seat and push down or the rear wheel will just slide...

Pfft, I push start my TZ125 every time I use it.

OK, so maybe it's not quite the same...

I've left the parking light on twice now, once on my Kat and once on my Tiller. It IS easy to do, but now I make it a point to take a quick glance back when I turn the key off to make sure I didn't turn it too far. And yeeeaaah, bump starting a TLR... <i>THAT'S</i> a guaranteed way to not only not starting it but having to pick it up off the ground after you drop it. :laughing

Oh, and I thought the best thing about having the internet on your phone was mobile porn? :confused
