Re: Covid 19 virus
Just had my second covid test tonight

Got sent to hospital by gp for test, bloods and x ray - they woyldnt do anything and told me to go to testing station!!!!!
So i await the result

Re: Dreaded reg/rec
Sorry i wasnt clear.
I forgot to unplug the oximiser when i started the bike and it was registering 18v
I disconnected it and then ran the bike putting my multi meter across the battery when engine was running and it was 18v or so.

Dreaded reg/rec
Awoke the storm from its slumber ths afternoon eventually!!!
Forgot to disconnect my oxford charger maintainer so was surprised to see it registering about 18v
Put the meter on the battery and it was greater than 17v so im guessing the reg/rec is on way out?
Its a finned one
