Umm noone has mentioned RACV or indeed even RACV, rather they ,entioned Marshall which are a battery specialist. Whehter they know a motorbike battery from a vibrator battery remains the unanswered question :)

King, if it can last naother 2 weeks get a new battery for your birthday :)
Oh thanks mate, you buying me a birthday present? Thanks very much. I'll let ya know the delivery address..... :lol:

Went to Battery World at Rocklea. I had a choice of two batteries but they only had one in stock. Old battery was CACTUS (FUBAR), they installed new battery and not sure if its my imagination or not, but bike even seems to run a bit better?

Quite possibly, as the electricity being supplied would be a lot more stable as the battery would be able to fill in any hiccups in the power the altenator would provide.
