I had the same issue when i first got my Superhawk....the regulator/ rectifier was bad. the stock ones are a POS. i got an aftermarket one installed and havent had any probs since. good luck
Good to hear. Buena Vista usually has gravel.....great roads down there, stay on the main ones 374,180,56,664 and you are usually safe from the gravel monster hahahaha glad you had fun and everyone was safe
