It's Been Too Long...
I probably shouldn't admit this but I had to laugh at myself, so why not everyone else.
I'm planning on riding tomorrow for the first time since probably December. Got the bike outside today and since I changed the fluids over the winter, I wanted to check for leaks, etc.
Hit the Run Switch, starter button, nothing. Try it again, nothing. Alarm light is flashing, so I know the battery has juice. Battery Tender showing green, battery charged.
OK, pull off back rest, seat, check connections and wires, all good. Check fuses, all good.
Light goes on, you idiot, you forgot to turn the Ignition Switch to ON!!!!!!
I really, really need that ride tomorrow to get my head screwed on right after this brutal winter...

ROTFLMAO 
If you were the 'only' one that had done that, we couldn't laugh 'at' ya...I've done that a few times myself!
How 'bout forgetting to turn the fuel petcock on, with carb'd bikes? Thank God for EFI bikes...That one zapped me far too many times to count!
