Good ride cut short

My wife and I finally got a chance to go out on a longer ride on our bikes. Decide to ride out by Kettle Moraine by Old World Wisconsin.

She noticed my blinker being slow by I figured it was just her over reacting. Nope as we rode on it got slower and slower till it wouldn't blink anymore.:fire We decide to turn around while somewhere past Eagle while on the KM scenic route. Get back on LO towards Muk town and it dies at a stop sign:fire:fire:fire. So while Iam figuring out how I'm getting home, I unplug the headlight and try to push start it. Fires up and I go. Managed to make it home:banana

After checking it out, the reg/rectifier is toast.

Ahh the joys of owning a vintage motorcycle.

It was a really nice ride till we had to turn around. I had forgotten about all the destruction out there from the tornado. it was weird seeing trees snapped off halfway up the trunk.:stare

ive replaced the rectifier, battery, and stator on my 89 honda vtr250 interceptor... i feel your pain

I think you just jinxed me I haven't had to replace the battery, yet:rolf

The Low beam went out too, so another $8 in the hole:goof
