Properly kicking myself. It's my MOT this morning (way over due / tax expired etc).
I put my battery tender on yesterday morning. Go to start the bike on the main button, and it can't crank the bike over. Too slow at thinking I should have used my starter solenoid over ride hack
... and now I've got it charging again hoping for one last shot.
Should have tried to start it last night, and when it didn't start I should have brought the battery indoors. In fact given that I haven't been able to ride it idk why I didn't just think about removing the battery and having it on trickle charging in the shed over winter.
Also having redeveloped asthma from a chest virus last year I can't push a bike about in the cold to try and jump start. I'm on a slope so I guess I could give it one shot and slowly push it back up the hill...
