    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. 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. 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

    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.
