Hot Bike! :(

[The Architect]

With a heavy heart I have to say for the first time in many years I do not own a Monster..........

This spring I took out my beautiful SR4.  I wanted to add fresh gas and get ready for the Distinguished Gentleman ride the next day.  The weather was perfect!  I filled it up and I started to ride home.  It was such a good afternoon that I decided to keep riding.  After a while it was time to head home.  All of a sudden, there was a blip in the power.  I looked down at the cluster and all looked good.  And then it it wasn't, cluster went blank, dead.  I still had power.  Look at the rearview mirror and I saw white smoke.  The math wasn't adding up.  I pull over and immediately smell the burning plastic.  Melting plastic is dripping from under the seat.  At this point I felt that all was okay.  I stopped in front of a friend's house.  All his cars were there.  Unfortunately, no one was home.  None of the neighbors were home.  All I could do was call 911 and watch.
