Either an allergy or a cold had me down for a while. Yesterday was fairly nice and I wanted to go for a ride on the Super Glide.

It's been on a battery tender but, it wouldn't start. When I tried to jump start it, I accidently hooked up cables up backwards!

When I reversed the cables, it still wouldn't start. Today I bought a brand new AGM battery. But I don't want to screw anything up worse than I already have so I haven't put the new battery in yet.

From what I have been able to find on-line, this can cause all kinds of problems or it might not be too bad. I'm thinking I need to haul the bike to a shop, with the new battery, and let a mechanic look at it.

I should post this in the stupid thread. :crying:

When I got everything all put back together, I plugged in the maintainer and after a few seconds, it went into charge mode.

Got a couple different problems now. My eye with the plastic lens is fubar'ed, so seeing is a problem and the other is, ah...rhoids. I can fix one but(t) not the other. Ageing can be frustrating but I'm not ready to thrown in the towel yet.

Pass the mentholatum please.

When say Plastic lens makes me wonder was this the replacement lens from a Cataract? I just went through this if it is .. Eye was all blurred and couldn't focus sharply with it .. But a couple of clicks (what you hear) from a Laser by the same Doctor has it crystal clear again ..

That's it Gator. Had the cataract operation with the new plastic lens installed. Then just over a weekend, everything got all blurry. I need to go back to the eye doc and get it fixed. Is the laser work done under warranty?

Its getting to be a real PITA not trying to work on things I can't hardly see.
