Battery die while out riding?

My car battery is hot to the touch after a drive. I plan to wrap it in a cheap windshield sunshade to see if it helps. Next time I have the seat off I'll check the moto battery too. No hills to push start?  I got pretty good at running jump mounting my VTR to get it started.

I ran around the gas station lot like a mad man trying to bump start it without any luck. It would fire then die.

Both terminals are good and tight?

Sounds like it, but always worth a check.

Yup. I'm back home now. Trickle charge did the trick to get enough juice to fire. Definitely need a new battery. Sure glad I was able to hitch a ride home to get the trickle charger. Sat in the truck in the a/c while it charged. Woo.
