battery problem
florence:
Nowadays on modern bikes with CanBus systems (no fuses), smaller gel batteries and computerised management, an optimising charger is more or less a painful necessity. :(

Sounds like pure science fiction to me and downright dangerous; no fuses!, sounds like a good way to have ones bike explode.
I'm glad to say the newest bike I've ever ridden was made in 1979. (I'm getting worried, I find it hard to cope with the modern world and I'm nowhere near fifty yet; it's just going to get worse.)

I quite agree on having a phobia of the modern world and modern technology. I'm 30 so in theory should be of the tech friendly generation but I'm not a fan and the tendancy is for each vehicle I get to be older than the last. I'm now on a quest for something affordable to buy and run thats older than our 1960 landrover....
florence:
I have a series 2a landrover and I love it. When it breaks I can mend it with three spanners, a screwdriver and a hammer, ...oh and a stick welder ;D
florence:
.....and it spends it's life logging, taking pigs to market, stump pulling and general tractor work. (I'll stop now because this is a bike forum :-[)
matthewmosse:
Are you on the series 2 forum? it's a good place to get info on those versatile vehicles. Ours too does a lot of tractor jobs, we even run an old hayliner baler behind the landy though information on using the more tractor functions is harder to come by. ;D
