Drained...........

Posted by Tumbles on 11/17/2009 6:44:37 PM Ok, so here it is Saturday in november great day lots of sunshine loe 80's, and a friend that wanted to go somewhere. So, lets go! I wanted to get another deck of Tarot cards, I think that they are just plan fun and that there are so many out. Anyway, I did some house cleaning in prep for Sundays roasted chicken dinner I was having for friends. I got ready to out and was very excited. K and I were going down to St. Augustine. I know its not far and I've been there many times but each time I go I try to see something else. The city historic distrct has been around since the 1400. So much history has taken place there. It is hard to run out of new things to see and do. We took one of the tour trains this time. The tour took me places that I have never seen before and I look forward to revisiting them and taking my time. Ok, it gets better just settle down after all this is my ride blog and I promise you won't be disappointe. Anyway aftet the tour we head off to potions and notions for the cards. They didn't have the deck I was looking for which was ok so we decided to go to hooked on harry's which is an awesome place to get some food. Hooked on Harry's has this great outdoor garden area. In the evenings the trees light up and it has a very romantic atmosphere. Which is perfect when your self daying your self. What better way to indulage yourself right. Nice Icey cold beer and spicy shrip, in a fragrent garden with garden lights and a warm evening. It was very nice relaxing and peace full. All the diners were quitely chattng away and in the distant background the birds were signing their last day songs. All the while there was something just draining away. We strolled from harrys' and walked around a little bit. I was so full, I haven't eaten that much in a while. Then after a stoll down the small city streets it was time to head back to the fort where I parked. There is a motorcycle meter there that doesn't work so that's were I always park. We get geared up, and hop on the bikes and gerrrgerrrgerr, I stoped right there I knew waht that sound wasl Yea man you got it, The battery was dying. I didn't hit it again because I knew what was the point, it didn't have enough juice to kick it over. So, I aked the returing bikers that were also getting ready to leave. None could help, so I called the local dealer in St. Augustine. Their clain to fame is we are know for great service. They said sure if you can get the bike here we can get ya a new battery. Don't need a new battery I just need a jump. The dude said he'd find out if they had a jump battery. Meanwhile I call HOG for roadside assitance. The guy fro St. Augustine HD calls back they don't have a jump battery. me I said bullshit but thank your for not helping. Road side ass. said it would be about 4 hours before someone could help, they also asked if I was in a safe area. I was. I sat there for a bit, and thought this out, I knew I had enough juice to turn the oil pump and the fuel pump, but not enought to start the thing.....so k and I decided to bumbp start it. The things like 900 lbs, I'm just a lttlet person and k well she's not that much bigger, so here we go two dumb bithches pushing a big road king around a parking lot to get it up to speed. Somewhere during this time K adds in ya should have bought a Honda. A what??? Fuck that I'd rather push my harley then own a honda. really deep down in side I was thinking no shit.......LOL! she and I pushed and pushed and pushed. Biker after biker after biker passed us by not once offereing help. Just goes to show you how most of you bikers are showboat bikers. Anyway a couple of fired up young men helped us push and push and push, they said dam this thing is heavy, not shit, anyway between the four of us we got he thing bumb started. Folks I just want to say this is something that you do not want to do, it was not funn and 3 days later I feel like I was hit by a car all over again. I have learned many things in this life. I have found that not panicking is the best and that I will always be given what I need just not when I want it. Thanks guys I know eventually k and I would have gotten the started but I'm glad we didn't have to kill ourselves to do it. For those who passed by or looked confused, thanks a shit load to you folks too.................."T" Posted by Tumbles on 11/17/2009 6:44:37 PM
