    K100 LT 1987?

    Mate has just found out his battery is farked. His SOB has been sitting in
    the garage since September and he wonders why the battery's flat!
    Googled me little fingers off, but can't come up with the actual model
    number of the battery.
    I'm sure one of you won't mind spilling the beans, or is this a WW2 secret
    still?

    TIA.

    I got my last one from a local bike shop, 27 quid for a yuasa/exide one if I
    recall correctly.

    I've always used dowdingandmills.com for my earplugs. Very cheap and
    always in stock. They don't charge for delivery either.

    Taa,

    But the nonce took a stroll into the local BMW Stealership and liberated his
    wallet of >70 UKp!
    Not even a Bosch battery.
    Never mind, can't help some people.
    I think the Battery has doubled the value of the SOBmw.
    Now it'll have to be Fully Comp Ins. ;o)

    I bought a mixed pack but many of them are very similar to each other. I
    tried the corded rockets second and they're really comfortable and
    effective so I didn't bother to try the others. You can have the rest of
    the pack for the price of a beer should we ever meet.

    that hasn't worked for me, despite having reduced my body mass by 10%
    in the last three months I still snore like a bastard, apparently.

    Christ - you must be almost thin. I've lost 8 kilos since Christmas,
    but I've a way to go yet before I could claim "not fat".
    I can imagine.

    the "better, smaller" food thing is exactly how I've been losing
    weight - no weird faddish diets, just less of what I had been eating.
    Well, I never really ate a lot of junk or ready meals or stuff like
    that, but I've cut out things with a lot of fat, cheese etc. in them,
    and eat chicken where I would have previously had bacon etc.
