It’s an apparently immutable law of motorcycling that your bike will always pick the least convenient moment to decide it’s not going to start. For example, when it’s due for a service and you need to ride it down to the workshop, it decides that this is a good time for the battery to die (having been drained by a very cold snap and lack of activity in bad weather). So: Call workshop, explain why bike will not be attending its appointment, and arrange for collection at a later (and thoroughly inopportune) date.
Await call to say it’s all sorted.
Receive call to say you need a new battery. Really? After it wouldn’t start so you had to come and fetch it? What a shock to learn the battery’s unrevivable! I mean, seriously. It’s nice that they call me to tell me the expensive bits in advance, but that particular cost was kind of already a given….
