    Put the battery tender on the Ultra been snowing for a little while. Time for another cup of hot coffee. Driveway is to steep to take the bike down.

    All I was trying to do is show that there is a difference.
    And a battery charger, that is water proof, it will charge and maintain.
    But you can always just buy another battery. They are cheap.

    Bonjour, If what CB says isn't true it wouldn't be on the Internet,
    CB both have been around for some time now if I need a charger I have one works fine after 30 years of use , my battery tender also works just fine after just a few years of use , talk to who ever you want & use what you want , with the tenders I have & the time both bikes about a year ago I just stay with the battery tenders they work , for me ,I even use it on my riding lawn mower I havent had to but a battery in a few years now :D

    Cold temps is also a big killer of batteries, especially if left connected for a long period of time without a tender. Best way to buy a new battery.

    Down here when they come on there usually at least 4 plus people. And they all have guns.
    Shoot as good as you want.
    You can shoot at targets all day. They don't shoot back and make you get excited trying to move

    Better get an AR15 223 cal with two 30 round mags taped together. That way you can spray the whole area and hopefully hit what your aiming at with at least one round. :D
    Or get yourself a 12 gauge pump assault rifle. :D if you miss with one of those then yea better just shoot yourself before they get you. :roflmao:

    Get the general electric 134 mini gun ,4,000 rounds a min you don't have to aim. They are a bit spendie to shoot 7.62.ya might tear up the house a bit so let those four guys(tx.) get close to the door.its a little messy but good fun to shoot.
