But hey, this guy is on a trip!As my luck would have it, I found my bike lifeless this morning. Let me back up. I last rode the bike to work on Monday. Came home, grabbed some paper work and was off to the Village Hall to take care of some paperwork.
I came back for dinner and left the bike in the driveway. Two hours later, and one big dinner, I was heading to a meeting. I get on the bike; attempt to start it and nothing, dead. No signs of life what so ever.
In a hurry to get to the meeting, I rolled the bike into the garage, grabbed the car keys and I was off. When I arrived home, I found that I had juice back in the battery, but did I start it? No!
The weather has been crappy the last two days. This morning was chilly but I decided to ride to work anyway. I get on the bike this morning to start it not it is just clicking away. Push the bike back into the garage and threw the charger on it. I was off to work.
With the bike on my mind and leaving for the trip in the morning, I decided to leave work two hours early. I was able to get the bike started when I got home. I then took it to get gas. The bike started again. WHEW!
I believe on Monday, I did not turn the key all the way off, draining the battery. Let's hope this is another learning lesson. If not, I will be pushing my bike back from
Side note: I will do my best to post some pictures while out in
