Default Had some crazy SH*T happen today

I went for a nice ride today and stopped at a small amish store. I wasn't inside real long (15 min). When I came out I got on my bike and rode off. I noticed my check engine light came on. This has never happened before. When I let off the throttle the light would go off. I pulled over and shut the bike down and started checking the things I could see. I found my rear plug wire was real loose and barely on the plug. I pushed it all the way down and the engine light went off????????? Did someone f**k with me? I never had a plug wire come off on its own. What ya think-gremlins?

Hope ya got a gremlin ride bell.....I'd bet them nasty lil road gremlins got ya. In all seriousness, I doubt somebody messed with ya. It happens that things come loose now and again. If you threw a historical code because of it, you can clear that and all will be well.

OK, I was pissed at first, those usually stay on really good. Wasn't sure and thought I'd better ask.

I really didn't think it was the amish, the parking lot was full of non-amish. hahaha I thought it might be a hater.
