Thanks D, the news just keeps getting better. More people out of work and prices just keep on rising. Of course with China sucking up most of the Natural resources, it will just be a matter of time before prices are just going to be out of site for nearly everything.

I should be due for a new battery sometime after 2014.
Might be cheaper to just buy another new bike.
Atleast that's what I'll tell the wife.

If they'd stop paying the parts guys a fortune they wouldn't have to raise the price of batteries!!
