Need help with starting issue

I have a 2008 ultra and yesterday the bike did something odd. I have always started the bike in gear holding the clutch. Yesterday It wouldn't start unless it was in nuetral. It did this all day. I am on a road trip so any info as to the possible reason would be greatly appreciated

I'll check in tonite for any responces

Thanks all

Thank you...that is the problem. I had a headlight issue (popping fuses) and found it was a pinched wire in the switch housing.

greatly appreciate the assist. Its not a major problem currently, and I'll fix it when I get home from this two week trip

Thanks again
