In some way shape or form the charge in the battery has come from the fuel in the tank, or your wallet when you paid for it.. or the Free-Stored-Electricity Fairies. There's just no such thing as a free lunch .. psst - want to buy this perpetual motion machine ?

They are but a mythical being. I work just around the corner from their Australian importer, and regularly pass their premises and I'm yet to see any sign of life there. Nev.. '04 CBR1100XX |
