| The more often a battery is drained and needs charging from flat the quicker it will need replacing. i go through a fair few on the bike as i forget to trickle charge. hence why high end cars have trickle charging connections in the boot. |
You usually trickle charge a battery when the vehicle it's on isn't being used regularly enough to charge it on a run.

Yeah, exactly. Bikes and high end stuff tend to be stood for long periods.

I ran a multimeter across it, it showed a 14v when the engine was off, and it went up to 15v when the engine was turned on. |
Those values sounds slightly high.
Are you sure the alternator isnt overcharging the battery?

Hmm, this I can't be sure of. I'll check it again later to make sure.
Would an over charged batter cause it not to start then?
