SUNDAY - YESTERDAY REALLY REALLY SUCKED
Ok, so it was a beautiful day out in the '70's, wife was in ga. visiting sister so i took the for a ride to manhattan. of
course there was traffic getting there, getting around and heavy traffic going home but that is life in ny so i almost get
used to it.
well my butt hurt a little from being on bike for such a while so i went to get a massage near home. all done, felt great
and go to bike, there were clouds looking a little scary but since i was only 15 minutes from home so what. well this is
when it went down hill, bike won't start. has power just won't crank, i have micro start so i quickly hooked it up, nothing.
i have aaa and all state roadside, called both to see who could get to me quicker, well while on phone it started to rain...hard
took over 3 hours until someone came and both aaa & all state called back to cancel out tow twice and between both i was
on live and hold for about 70 minutes.
now here is the kicker, i was pulling insurance off this week for the season, thought i could get a last ride in. so now i have
to get it towed to dealer then retire it. any 2nd amendmenters want to shoot me?

Hope it wasn't something like a kill switch.

Bummer...bummer
as they say in these parts "when it rains it pours" looks like you borrowed the saying... hope it is a small thing and not one that will make you feel worse. Next season will be better...

Had it towed home in the rain, didn't bring to dealer yet but i do believe it is the kill switch. had that problem
before.

Well that sucks. Not to rub it in but I had a great day on the BRP, weather was awesome. Even found $6.00 laying on the ground at a place I stopped to take some pics.

Well of course I did. I'm surprised nobody else did. I had a number of jokes for this one but this is a family friendly site, sooooo.

Hope you didnt use a credit card and there were no video cameras around. Might be an awfully expensive massage. LOL
