We Have Power


So far that battery charge did the trick. Looks like the old charger still has some life left in it after all. Had a nice ride scout today through the Santa Monica mountains. As usual, I have little to no idea where we were through some of the parts, but it was beautiful. Looking forward to going back next week for the real deal.

Chaaaaaarge!


So the Bonnie wouldn't start yesterday. Luckily a buddy from work was around to help me bump start her to get home. We had tried jumping it with his car, which I've done before, but I think his cables were bad.

So I broke out the ANCIENT trickle charger that used to belong to my dad. It seems to be working fine so far. I got some advice on the Triumph Rat forum and it sounds like it should be OK to use even though it's a little higher amperage than a typical motorcycle specific charger.

So I guess it's time to let it cook and see what happens in the morning.

Farewell Vacation


It was nice while it lasted. Now back to the grind. arg.

I'm looking to try some new things in 2011 though, so it will be nice to get off my ass. Here's to a safe year full of new adventures.
