Ok, heres an update on the bike situation. I haven't rode it since I rode it home from the carnage that occured until today. Well I go to start up the bike and head out........won't start. I roll it down my driveway in 2nd and pop start it. I get to one of my local stealers to pick up some motorclothes I had ordered and go to leave. It won't start again like the battery is not charging. I roll it around to the service department and ask them to take a look and to check out the voltage regulator explaining what happened at the other dealership. They check it out and inform me that I have a screw that worked out of the battery terminal because the threads are stripped ( could be my fault, never noticed it) so they change out the bolt with a longer one etc. The bike fires up once, cut it off and fires up again. I pay my 23 bucks for this little service and head out. I drive a half hour or so and stop for a drink, figuring the battery must be charged enough to start her again.........NOPE. I pop start the thing again and head home. About half way home I notice that the thing is dropping off power at about 43oo rpms and wont go any higher than that either. OK so I know I have a problem. I go a little further and the tach starts jumpin all over the place, my lights are dim etc. Sooo I manage to make it to my other dealer where I had hit the water cover and roll it into service, the bike died as I got it in the service doors. One of the techs goes over ( he was there when the carnagew happened) and looks under the bike says well some of the wires on the voltage regulator are pinched. Also takes note of the frame damage and mentions has to probably be replaced. He looks at me and say , well she will be herer for about 3-4 months while we order you a new frame. First step get a wreck estimate and see what else might be goin on with her. So thats where we are right now. The guy at the service counter was very helpful, he informed me that they have already contacted the city about the hazzard and since the city has come out and painted it orange. He also said they have experience in getting the city to take care of things like this and will help me get it sorted. So this is all good.
What's not good is I am now going to be three or four months without my bike. This is my transportation, on top of that it means every month I will be shelling out for a bike payement on a bike I don't have. I am not happy about this part of it. I wonder if the Mocco will take any responsibility for the fact I am going to have to wait for CVO due to the paint of the frame and possibly provide me with a rental to ride in the meantime??? I doubt it but one can always hope right?
