Great story Frank , got a good laugh reading it! Stuff happens Bro' , just gotta roll with the punches , right? I had a Clean Honda Sabre , was fueling it up , guy walks by as I'm fixing to fire her up.....Nice ride....Nothing.....not even a click. So......I play it off like I wasn't trying to start it (poorly , might I add) , push it out of the way of the pumps so others could get fuel , and end up finding a positive cable loose on the battery , oh well......that's life sometimes.

wait, hold on Frank was at a Sonic getting a milkshake. Cool biker guys don't do that. Can't look cool sucking on a milkshake riding a roadie... Giving bikers a bad name all over and if it breaks down again, agree to not have the wife pull up in the family wagon. Instead either push it, or have her rent a mustang or something cool.

Welcome to the wonderful world of biking. Sometimes being cool hurts ... good thing it was just your ego this time.

BTW - Sonic makes a mean shake ....

Political Correctness is a doctrine, fostered by a delusional, illogical minority, and rabidly promoted by an unscrupulous mainstream media, which holds forth the proposition that it is entirely possible to pick up a turd by the clean end.

If you get a shake next time Frank, make sure you don't have any oil spill over in it.

Thanks Frank,
  • I was feeling my pride hurt for stalling at an intersection next to some POS Mustang GT that wanted to race...At least I didn't have any smoke or "blood stains" on the pavement to prove I was there..

    Stalling is embarrassing. I've done it a couple of times, or else gotten stuck in neutral and had to fiddle with it for a little before I could get it into first gear and go.
