Bike sat for two weeks -- not starting: FIXED!!!!

[ducpainter]

Long story short:  When Nick (Speeddog) suggests you do something, do it.  Do all of it.

Speeddog suggested I check the ground bolt on the engine case for corrosion and tightness.  And, I marched out to the garage and gave a a visual inspection, and wiped some grease from it with my finger.  So, all is well.     

WRONG!!!

He also said to make sure it was tight.  Well, on a second look -- with a wrench --- it was loose...very loose!!!!  I tightened it, hooked up the car battery (car not running), and on the fourth crank....

IT LIVES!!!

     

Thanks to all for your help and ideas, and especially to Nick!!!!!

Ya damn fool...
