Title: what I learned.
Post by Dj12midnit on 03/22/09 at 12:48:49

So I was going to leave work at three, so I could be at my daughters track meet at three thirty. However as these things go I did not get out till three twenty. I get out fire up the bike and throw the high beam on and away I go. With out breaking to many laws I get there only fifteen minuets late. I pull up to the fence and see her tacking some warm up throws across the field. I take off my gloves and helmet and head across the field. I great the wife and the little one, and wait as they continue to warm up. After abut twenty five minuets standing in the afternoon drizzle. She completes her throws and we move begin to move toward the other side of the field were there is some shelter from the rain. As we walk I glance over to wear my bike is parked and I exclaim oh defecation. I was in such a rush to get over to the other side no only did I leave the keys in the bike. I left it on, High Beam shining bright. I quicken my pace trying to figure out if I want to push it or take it apart and jump it. I reach the bike and figure first things first let see how much juice do I have left. I flip the switch and hit the button and she comes to life thump thump thump..... I roll the throttle a couple times kill it and go back to relaxing and watching the meet. BIG Crank is my friend. Do not think I want to try and see how long I can leave it on and have it still start but I know it is good for half an hour with no problems.

In the end she took second in the Javelin and third in the shot put.

That is nice to know, others want to make you think the battery would be dead in 5 min. ride safe

If you hadn't have left the light on she would have come in first in both events. [smiley=grin.gif]

If it had been the OEM I know I would have been pushing.

I love Big Crank. Ive rarely been riding my bike more than 10 minutes at a time for the past few months and never charged the battery. The stock one died in 3 months of heavier riding.

My Big Crank was delivered by UPS and I installed it yesterday!

After having my el'cheapo battery die 2x in front of my HD friends, I can now say:

"Happiness is having a Big Crank!"
