Eventful Day

Post by nylife »

So, i wake up to go on the charity ride, go to get my bike a little early so i can install my mudsling before the ride
the install goes very smooth, here are some pictures

ok So the mudsling is installed and i proceed to the charity ride, 5 blocks away from the charity ride the bike dies, i stole while making a turn, try to restart and the starter would not even crank, i guess thats what they mean when the battery goes suddenly dead without any warning signs(still an OEM battery), i call my friend he finds jumper cable from someone on the ride and comes with his Harley to rescue my ass, i get a jump she starts right up and the rest of the day was more or less of, so now i will be shopping for a new battery.

How was your day?
Most motorcycle problems are caused by the nut that connects handlebars to the saddle.

I visited the guy the I was riding with that bumped into me and has to have a plate put in his shoulder. I can't ride until my new wheel comes in. But my battery seems to be fine...
