So it was almost 60 degrees and sunny today here in Milwaukee, so I went to take the bike out for its maiden voyage.

The ***** would not start!

I checked the fuses, and sure as***** the fuse for the starter motor had blown. Anybody else have this happen? What causes a bike (or a fuse I guess) to blow when it hasnt been started since November? Oh well.

Went out for the ride, and it was lovely, the new seat is more comfortable than I thought, the footpegs are good, the gauges work fine, key is in an ideal posistion, number plate side covers didn't fly off, and it all still worked!

a pic for fun.

Hey Jason, glad to see you got your bike out! It sure was beautiful weather the past few days. If it helps you any, my bike started right up :wink: I'm thinking we may have to schedule a ride pretty soon...

The weather was real nice, lets go for a ride once the salt and grime has been washed away.

When I was in Arkansas last week it was sunny and in the 80s, I was kicking myself for not having my bike!

cheers, jason
