    Uh... What did I just blow up? (VFR400)

    I was trying to start my NC24 which had been sitting for a while, and the battery was quite worn down. So I connected another battery with jumper leads, and got them around the wrong way.... zzaap! I had the two batteries connected like that for a few seconds before I realised. I think I may have pressed the starter once during that time as well.

    So now there are no signs of life at all. What's likely to be the first thing to get cooked by doing this?

    No dumb questions dude.

    You found out how to fix the problem didn't you?
    And I to my motorcycle parked like the soul of the junkyard. Restored, a bicycle fleshed with power, and tore off. Up Highway 106 continually drunk on the wind in my mouth. Wringing the handlebar for speed, wild to be wreckage forever.

    A girlfriend once asked " Why is it you seem to prefer to race, than spend time with me ?"
    The answer was simple ! "I'll prolly get bored with racing too, once i've nailed it !"
