The g/f was bent on saving gas and signed up for the MSF course and pushed me to do so also. Always wanted a bike...just never pursued it. We took the class May 1,3,and 4th. 3 days later found us in our local dealer, her with an '07 holdout Virago 250 and me a '07 holdout FZ6. Prior to the MSF course 3 days earlier, neither of us had rode before. She (wisely) had her bike delivered. Me (questionable wisdom) was determined to ride my baby home (the bike I mean) A friend came and picked up my car at the bike dealership and followed me home. OMG what a freakin blast!! Got home dropped off my 4 door "grocery getter" and within the next 24 hrs put 220 miles on the bike. At 50 miles, stalled her at a light...eh! it happens. But when I went to re-start her she won't turn over and the starter dies as if the battery is dying. Later found out its not recommended to jump a bike with a car but I was stranded on the side of the HWY at 9 o' clock at night. I get the bike started and make it home with no other probs.The next morning take her back to the dealership for an electrical diagnostic. Still no probs since the night before and the shop can't find anything wrong either. If youre still reading this thanx...I kno its long but I felt the need to share Anyway, to end this long story, the freak battery issue has not happened again. Its raining today and I'm going insane waiting for it to dry out so I can ride again.
