It was good to do the WNR again after being away from it for a few years and getting on the bike after being off that for nearly as long

Do you mean your bike went BANG and left parts across the road like harleys or won't start? at any case I hope your all right.

Why what happened? Did it run out of wheelie? Sounds like you need a sit up bike like us old fellas.

The bike didn't go bang but it WONT bang.

The battery was flat so took it out and charged it.

Placed it back in, bike turns on, ignition primer all good.

Pressed the starter, bike turns, ignition starter rolls but no bang in the cylinders. Not even a pop.

Hmmm... Will fiddle with it tonight and try to get it going.

So I just checked.

In the afternoon, placing the battery back into the bike I had forgot to reattach the power commander ignition wire back onto the negative

IDIOT.... IDIOT....

Bike now starts and runs like brand new with full charged battery. See you guys on Wednesday.

**gloplg** · 6th October 2013, 08:15

Hmmmmmmmm. ........ Been there EJK done something similar.

You are not the first, won't be the last. Think Forrest Gump "it happens".

Anyway WNR.

BK, Dyers Pass, Gebbies, first regroup Millars Rd near the Akaroa hiway. Folks from that side of town might want to join up there. On to Rittle Liver (second regroup at the old station????), Final regroup at Duvauchelles Pub

. (Txts and emails to Jim Hickey for

You guys

safely, see you Wednesday.
