    Default 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.

    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...

    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.

    Please take this response in the joking manner it is intended. Your Spyder wouldn't start and it started raining really bad??? What did you think would happen when your wife is out of town, and you go to get your butt massaged on a Sunday???

    So what's gonna happen if you play that record backwards??


    Will your Spyder get fixed & your wife come home or is that only if it's Country music??



    Apologies to those too young to know what a 'record' is!

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