	Hey Mark, 

  Is this dependant on how often it gets ridden?  I've got the alarm
coming on mine (oh and the pain of waiting for this damn bike is
killing me!), and now I'm having second thoughts about having it
installed (it's not too late, sorta unfortunately).  If I ride it a
couple times a week, do you think that will keep it charged?
