If you are riding  and it is a must that you keep your eyes on the road, you are riding too fast.

No voodoo either Eli.

She stalled in extremely heavy traffic and the battery only gave me three short attempts to start and then died.  She started right up after about 30 minutes on the trickle charger so I think she just needs a new battery.

Maybe, with the cooler temps coming, I'll rebuild the carbs.

Sounds like an experience I had with the I/S Chuck. It just died while traveling on the highway, let it sit for about ten minutes (enough time for the battery to regen) and it started. Rode for couple miles and it died again. I was sure it was the battery, bought a new one and rode for about 10 miles and it died again. Turns out it was a dead alternator.

Oh S..t! I thought Misty wrecked another car, i.e. The Charger, leaving you with only the Fast Valk.
