    Default Bad Weekend

    Went to my first bike week in Ocean City MD, this weekend and we had a tornado on Friday, rained all day Saturday, and when the rain stopped my Spyder wouldn't start. 2011 RT Ltd, 4 months old and I'm getting a check engine light, the bike started idling real rough and then cut off. Had to have my bike towed 137 miles to my house, and now I have to have it towed to my Dealer. What a bummer. Hope this isn't indicative of things to come. Anybody else had this problem ??
