Default Am I gettin' old...?

Or am I just losing it?????

The weather here in Jersey still hasn't "broken" yet.
But it's gettin' better.

Got home today from work,
figured I'd go for a quick putt,
wheeled the Ultra outta' the garage,
onto the street,
turned on the ignition,
flipped the 'on' switch,
waited for the electric fuel pump to do it's thing,
hit the starter and....
Nothing!
Hit it again and...
Still nothing.
DAMN!!!![:@]
One more try...
Nope.
WTF?????

That's when I noticed the right turn signal blinking....
Opps.[sm=bangbang.gif]
DUH!!!!

(can I blame it on my fat gloves???)[sm=laughingsmilie.gif]

As long as your stecker picks up, no.
I honk the horn to let everyone know I'm about to start bike or switch to hi beam or turn left...

Getting old ain't great, but at least we're still on this side of the dirt.

Nice day today (for NJ). Still waiting for my 08 RKC. Would have gone riding today for sure!

Remember - better to be over the hill than under it!
