Having a bad day

Posted on by

So I get home from work, eat some dinner, then head out to the DCARA meeting. I get in the Jeep and try to start it. No luck, dead battery. OK, fine. I take the bike, it’s really not a big deal.

When I get up to Denton and am locking up the bike I notice that the left rear turn signal is hanging by it’s wire. This isn’t good. So I look at it, try to fix it, and realize that all of the threads inside the turn signal assembly have been stripped off. I guess after 7 years something had to die. So I taped it up and will buy a new one tomorrow. It just sucks because the weather’s been cooler than a Texas July should be and it’s really nice riding weather.

I’m just not having good luck withe the vehicles today…

Well, I took the Experienced Rider Course today over at the Honda center in Irving. It was a blast! I really had to take it to keep the insurance discount, but it was well worth the money. Plus, Harley is going to reimburse me $50 of the class cost ($75 total).

We had six people in the group, and were pretty well split in half based on skill level. But nobody dropped their bikes!

It’s a really good way to spend a Saturday and you just might learn something that keeps you alive.
