Wow...thanks for the quick responses!
I figured out what it was...I know there are 40 dozen "safety" switches on this bike and it turns out that a very small piece of trash had gotten stuck under the pin on the kickstand switch. This was somehow keeping it from engaging when the kickstand was up. Once I cleaned that really good, everything is good again!
Now, since it's in the 70's today, time to ride!!!!
Again, thanks...don't know what I'd do without you guys...(and gals).
