Six months in the garden and it starts first time

[Cardinal]

After a long trip away with the GS under a tarpaulin I'm delighted to say my bike started first time on its five year old battery - pumped tyres up and all running well. Happy days and roll on summer touring

You've got a five year old battery on a four year old bike?

My MZ 250 Supa5 would do that years ago

I was not able to ride for 5 months due to a badly broken ankle ( fall from a ladder ). l took the cover off , fired it up and she started 1st time......

Oops - senior moment - its all the rust that makes it look five years old
