Default went brain dead today

weather was very nice mid 70's, so after a few weeks off the bike it was time to blow off working and take the bike out. Let it warm up, put air in tires, wife hops onand took off, first stop fill up the gas tank. Gassed up turn on ignition, hit ready switch.......and nothing happened. Will not turn over, nothing? turn off ready swith turn off igniton, turn on ignition, turn on ready switch....nothing?
















Wife says push the start button. Damn if that didn't work.

If that's the worst thing you forget.....you're wayyyyyyyy ahead of the rest of us. Now if you pulled away from the station and left your wife in the restroom.....well then I'd be worried about you

I saw a guy who got off his bike and totally forgot to put the stand down, so over it went. Like I said I saw a guy, some other guy, not me...
