Ahh, no worries man. lol. Other than the one time, i've never taken anything seriously. And thanks for reminding me, i totally forgot. Sanford&Son? Hmm...must be some old tv show you watched in 44?

Good luck with it Aerik. lol. It served me all of a week!

Never said i knew anything about bikes other than ride them and wreck them. Now i haz a sad again! I can always count on you Jagz. Gotta learn somewhere though. Never really needed one till now.

Ok...

Yeah. Probably the best way to go. Think i'll start looking around. Thanks again.

So, what do you think? Buy a new battery and a tender?

Was it someone from here who bought it?

I just picked it (the bike) a few days ago. It runs well when it starts. But obviously during the winter, the battery wasn't properly maintained. I'm also pretty sure the radiator fan is draining the battery. I'm just curious as to how long a new battery would last. Where as, i was hoping the tender...could just keep the current battery charged. Does that make sense? Thanks again to everyone for the info.

One last question. The ring connectors are usually big enough to fit on or around the negative/positive posts?

I think i see what your saying now. I can connect the clamp connection to the tender, and then the clamps to the bike right? Thanks John.

How hard is it to install the outlet? I appreciate the reply's. I did a search on battery tenders and it took me to batterytender.com Everything just kinda seemed like rocket science. lol.

This is going to be a rather..."interesting" question so bare with me. How do battery tenders work? I've seen some where you can connect them to a wall outlet, and then to the battery of the bike? I could be wrong, but i thought i saw something where you need to connect something to an outlet of the bike? This is for an 84. I doubt there are any outlets on it. I've also heard of floaters? Again no idea. The battery is weak, and i've jump started it with a car a couple times. But...i'd like to bypass and just be able to start the bike the 1st damn time. Any idea's or suggestions? Or explain how these work, and how much of a noob i am. Bike is 84 Honda Sabre 700 btw. Thanks.

No worries man, i appreciate it. This may damage your e-thug rep...but i've never had a problem with you. Your just a big *gay* teddy bear.

Good luck man, let us know how it goes.

My god man. For anyone to have something happen to them as did you, you are a HUGE inspiration. Wow. Glad to hear your adapting so well, and everything is starting to look up for you. Glad the surgery went well. Keep it up buddy! Nice ride too!

lol. Yeah, my hands started to get a little numb on the way back unfortunately. Jeans for me too. So...did you use the hand dryer to warm your hands, or literally your junk? No kidding. Anything over the speed limit felt like ice cold death freeze.

Me or Ryan? When you mentioned it, i honestly thought you were joking man.

Haha. Beer...yeah i could possibly see myself doing that too.

If it was me...you get half a glass, or can of beer. Good?

k sorry. I made a card board replica of one in the garage. Every time i sit on it...i have to remake it. I also have a cd player in there stuck on repeat of bike sounds. Shit's awesome. I think i even got it up to 3 mph or something. maybe even like a 6 inch wheelie. Oh..btw, pics to come soon of both!

Yeah. But...like i said before...would rather it went to someone than sit. Especially someone from OR. Yeah, that's it. Wow. Todd...almost makes me want to come up with the money to have 2 to play with. At least i'd know where it's been.

I might make it out next time. I'd probably be up for next week.

Oh yeah? That's pretty awesome. I just got home around 1...probably the coldest ride, i've had...or can remember.
