A Tad Frustrating
01/13/10 at 14:48:08

I realize I have a 23 year old bike. I know I am not the original owner. I know little things, like screws and bolts fall to the floor and roll far, far away.

But it is frustrating to work on the bike and have to have a dozen different tools to take the battery out. OK, I admit I was already not happy that my battery was dead. I am trying to replace things with the allen head fasteners. But does everyone's battery have a flat and a phillips head on the cables?

I didn't think so!

And that's what comes on almost every replacement battery. On the bright side, it drives the Harley guys nuts to have to have a metric wrench in their toolbox.

I'm ready for next time.
