This is a great article A lot of the guys that I know with big bikes that did very little riding last year have had very short battery life and on our last ride two of the four bikes didn't make it past the second pick up point. There is a lot of argument over which charger to use to extend there battries life. I will pass this on to them. Even though I normally ride at least once a week I think I will look into putting the charger on my bike as well. It is just too easy to use the company's fuel for a quick trip to the shop and I don't have the need to drive or ride to get to work so weekends are normally when I can ride.
