Default She is DEAD

Went out to ride and no power. Radio and lights, etc... work. Took the battery out and charged it. Had spark, however when I putter in, no go, she would not even moan. Any suggestions other than shooting her?

My ride is a 2008 RoadGlide. I might still need a new battery, not sure. I have a pal who is coming over tomorrow and we will try his battery in hopes we find the problem. As far as I know the only fuse on my bike is for the radio. You are correct if it is not the battery then I think it will be in the ignition switch or the kill switch, and maybe the starter connection. Thanks for responding, I'll let you know when I know what it is.
