Default Blswahe

Ok I'll translate BLSWAHE "Bad Luck Story With A Happy Ending," yeah that's right nothing irks me quite as bad as getting off work and walking out to a beautiful bike and hearing, click click, What The #%*!, click click click "SOB my battery's deader than #%*!. Well That Happened today. Out of town away from home with no money, and a dead battery. A fine young man told me that he had some jumper cables, and sure enough he did. With a pair of pliers that I forgot to take out of my saddle bag "at one time or another," I removed my seat, and passenger strap, and we jumped my bike off. It was quite fun trying to put the bolts back into a bike that was shaking like a dog trying to crap a peach seed, but i finally got it back together. My Indy wasn't but about three miles away, and when I got there he had a battery. After he tested my charging system he told me it needed a new battery I told him I didn't have any money and he put a new battery on and told me I could pay him in a week or so, as soon as I had enough money. It's a high dollar battery, but beggars cant be choosers. Here is the battery that I got, for $200.26 "on my bike and after taxes." http://www.dragspecialties.com/produ...umber=21130322 So the Good Lord is watching over me after all.

Always good to have some elementary tools on your ride.

How old was your battery?

How much do you ride that bike?

Gotta battery tender now?

"yes it is."

"more than seven, but less than ten."
How much do you ride that bike?
"Since my knee is getting almost well sixty to seventy miles per days that I work"
Gotta battery tender now?
