Default 08 street glide wont start

My husband is in Sturgis and his bike will not start.....radio works, lights flash, so we do not think it is the battery. He trailered the bike to sturgis and turned off the alarm, now when he tries to start the lights just flash. Any suggestions?

Make sure the engine off toggle is turned on. Wouldn't be the first time someone overlooked something so simple.

That happens because he didn't ride the bike to Sturgis
