Tommy boy - Take some of the King's sterling and/or Euros and get the battery load tested.

I'm now betting on battery.

Hard to start before putting it away. Now, lights on but no start. My bet is the battery.

As far as losing nuts and bolts, always have extras handy.

That cabinet circled in red? Nothing but Harley nuts, bolts, washers, o-rings, etc etc....has more storage than what it looks like in that pic.

Hell, I have one little drawer itself dedicated to battery nuts and bolts.

There's also a couple of coffee cans, but the other is easier to get too.......
