What I described was exactly what happened. If you look back to mid-summer you will see a thread where Ben is stranded at a gas station with a dead battery. He took it home, charged it for two months, pushed it on the trailer, drove it to the Fall Dragon Trip...unloaded it and got stranded a couple blocks down the street at another gas station. He had to drive to Cherokee and back to get a battery. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TimTheAzn Posted February 17, 2016 Report Share Posted February 17, 2016 LOL I've learned that Trumpets are very particular about their battery voltage. I swear this last battery would have started my old 600rr. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Twice it left me stranded. Both times at gas stations which I'd just ridden to. Amazing. I wasn't convinced it was the battery until I replaced it.

Tonik Posted February 17, 2016 Report Share Posted February 17, 2016 Most FI bikes are picky about batteries, or more accurately most FI bikes have ECU's that are very picky about batteries. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So does hitting the kill switch at 130.......... scared the piss outta me. Good thing I had enough momentum to get over 4 lanes to pull off to find out that I hit my own kills witch.

what Posted February 17, 2016 Report Share Posted February 17, 2016 I might actually bring a spare battery down with me this year. Had the bike cut out on me right next to the Fontana turn-off and refuse to start for about 10'ish minutes last year (totally dead for 2-3 minutes, power back for 5-7 with a bunch of click, prime, hit starter, gauges wipe/reset, click, prime, hit starter, gauges wipe/reset, etc). 2spooky4me Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
2talltim Posted February 17, 2016 Report Share Posted February 17, 2016 If I even have the slightest hint of any doubt in my battery it is getting changed. Last one I changed on age alone, it was working perfectly fine but it was 5 years old so it had to go. Think I'm going to change the wife's V star battery this spring, never had any problems with it starting but its gotta be at least 4 to 5 years old - time to change it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you cancel 30 days before date is a $50 cancellation fee. Less than 30 days and you eat your deposit. New this year they're charging a $13.95 per room per night (+ $3.95 per person over 2 guests) 'Resort Pass' fee this year to use the mini golf, disc golf, baseball, free wifi etc. "The Resort Pass includes guest amenities such as complimentary cookies and coffee in the Lodge lobby, mini golf, disc golf, inclusion in resort activities, as well as free wifi and lake access. Exclusions include but are not limited to: Equipment Rentals, Marina Rentals, and course suppliers. In lieu of guests having to pay individiually for each resort activity and amenity during their stay with us, we are simplifying this process to make the experience at Fontana Village Resort as enjoyable and hassle-free as possible."

That's kinda crappy. They didn't tell us about that when making the reservations. Hell, I only want the wifi out of all those things. Now I'm going to be forced to play mini golf.

TimTheAzn Posted February 17, 2016 Report Share Posted February 17, 2016 Think we have a bed available, I offered it to Josh Rawlins but he hasn't replied yet. Gottcha. So that would still leave a couch or....? Trying to figure out if there would be a place for Andy. I guess we will keep out eyes open on this thread. Sent from my iPhone.

Usually lots of room for air matrress too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It rain every year and we have nice days every year. Like I always say "it's the mountians, it rains there". You just have a extra long day of drinking on the wet ones. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
