The Victory Motorcycle Club website is down and I gotta vent so I'm doing it here. Friday I jumped on my bike to ride to work and poof the battery was dead - no power. Saturday I put on a new fully charged battery start the bike ant the Volt Regulator blows with black liquid pouring out and smoke everywhere. It's an easy repair maybe take me 20 min if I had the parts. Called every bike shop within a hundred miles and nobody has a Volt Regulator for my bike. It's going to take at least a week to get the part in.

I'd been having problems with the battery - it's a 2 year old battery and the bike only has 4,000 miles on it so it's been sitting a lot. I'd had to jump it at least once a week. I don't know if jumping it ruined the Regulator or it was always a bad regulator and it was killing the battery. The chicken or the egg. Either way I'm taking them both out and replacing them. $100 for the battery $160 for the regulator. Not too bad relatively. If it's the alternator - that's really gonna suck.

So, my bad weekend... Not the money - Just the time off the road. The nicest weather of the year and I'm stuck diving the stupid Blazer - for at least the rest of the week. I got a 110 mile one way trip to work everyday. Do you know how boring 220 miles in a Blazer is? Just not my style.
