Better image from last weekend, first warm day of 2018. It wasn't adrenaline fueled action packed fun, but it was still 3 hours better spent than I usually do. Rode to Riflegear and couldn't get any service, so I just went for a cruise.
Strange problem though; started just fine at 9am, let it warm up for 2-3 minutes to idle without any choke, drove about 1/8 mile to the gas station, filled up, then it simply would not start. Just click click click. pushed it back home, put some jumper cables on it and all was well. Got a chicken sandwich, saw some things, waved at other bikers, and quit before fatigue set in.

I'd check the stator. If that was fine, then the battery. If it's the battery. It's a good excuse to buy one of the new lithium ion batteries.
