Dodge stinks. No - really Dodge City stinks - smells like cow manure. Guess that's why its called a Cow Town. Anyway - Today was a bit of a struggle. Replaced my battery this spring and must have overtightened the negative lead bolt on the battery or/and the bolts were the wrong size. It stripped out and caused an intermittent circuit issue with the CB, Cruse and fuel pump. It finally gave up at a road construction site where the road went to one lane. As we were waiting for oncoming traffic to yield to us I shut down the engine. When it was time for us to go the bike wouldn't turn over - like a dead battery. The guys were very supportive - helped me solve the issue. We were stopped in front of a house and the owner came out and asked if he could help. It appeared that a couple of washers as spacers would do the trick, and he provided those - we got the bolt to thread in and it worked! So we made it to Dodge City after all. Still need to fix it properly - do that tomorrow.
