my day has sucked
« on: August 26, 2008, 11:13:10 AM »
let the abuse begin:

got the softail back together last night ( fork seals and front wheel bearings ).

did a quick test ride last night and put it away.

started to ride it to work this morning figured i was a bit low on gas but that i had enough to get to work and fill up near work......

then i get stuck in a log jam because of some stupid road closure...... spend at least 30 minutes going maybe 2 miles. finally clear the traffic and get moving, bike starts coughing...... reach over grab for reserve and it sputters out.

crank it a couple of times and now i dont have enough juice in the battery or in the tank  :bigcry: :wall:

had i plugged in the battery tender last night or stopped for gas before i left toen i'd be having a better day right now

Woulda, shoulda, coulda, sounds eerily familiar. 

Hang tough Neal....

Is it too late to start drinking all day? Maybe worth a try...

Wow! Hope your day gets better. At least you don't have a 110" motor too.

Hope I never get completely beyond young and stupid.  Occasional bouts of it are a lot of fun.

So does this mean you aren't able to get it started to get it home? :(

i might be able to bring it some gas and push start it, but since its about halfway between work and home i think the smart thing will be to truck it back to the house
