Assaulted Battery
Did you know that letting a battery go totally flat three times in three years is a good way to kill it? I knew that. Didn't let it stop me!
Last Tuesday I came home with a screaming headache (no, not the wife) roll into the garage, kickstand down kills the engine, into the house.
Next morning can't find my keys. Oh, there they are, in the ignition. HORIZONAL. Take the cage to work, come home, put the bike on the charger.
Next morning, disconnect charger, fire up, ride to work. Quitting time, won't start. Push the bike over to the mechanics, get a jump, raise the idle, ride home. Shut down, try to restart -- NOTHING after a 4 mile ride. Battery is deader than a doornail.
Ordered a Big Crank. It's somewhere between Chicago and Los Angeles. Today was my fourth day in the cage. ARRRRGH!!
At least I'm in a decent cage.....
