Complaint
All my life I've wanted a .45 Colt Single Action Army and a Harley Davidson Motor Cycle. If finally got to a point in my life where I could afford them.
Several years ago I bought the Colt for about $1,300.00. I could have gotten several Uberti Clones for that price. I have several and they are good, solid weapons. But this was a real Colt.
It was a piece of **** with poor color case hardening, poor finish, scratches, bent front sight, shaved recoil shield, etc. I sent it back, TWICE, for repairs. Each time I got it back it had some new and different issue. I finally gave up, sitting on the gun to this day.
Last year I bought a 2011 Harley Davidson Fat Boy Lo, Denim Black. I followed all the directions, got the factory recommended dealer warranty service, took good care of it, under cover. Put 1,500 miles on it during the summer then put it in the garage last November (three months ago), on a Harley recommended trickle charger. Went out to start it this morning and all I get is one half-hearted attempt and then that clicking ****.
You know what? **** Colt. **** Harley Davidson. If we can't make a ****ing $18,000.00 dollar machine that starts like a cheap ****ing car that's been treated like **** all it's life, then it's a sad ****ing day in hell. What the hell is in a tiny little car that they can't fit on a ****ing bike to make it start when you turn the ****ing key? Huh? Is there some god damn chuck of heavy equipment hiding on that small care somewhere that just won't fit on a bike; a piece of equipment which actually makes the car start? But you have to give your ****ing bike a blow job, pray to it, rub it's tires and beg on your knees just to get the ****ing thing to do what you paid for? Like start?
**** this ****. I should always buy from people who are hungry and I should always stay hungry myself. I'm out of here.

chrome plated, single action Colt45's and two Harley
Davidsons, an 02 & a 05 I've never had a problem.
The guns shoot and the Harley's start. Sounds more
like a user problem.jmo.

It's no secret that the Colt would have issues, however, I don't get your bike's problems. I had knee surgery and really didn't get to put my bike up. It was last started sometime in mid November. I went out near the end of January and it fired right up. No battery tender at all. It has a genuine HD battery. Do you have a good tender? Is it designed to be left on for three months or is it a single use slow charger? Some aren't designed as a tender. Also, us it hooked up correctly?

I keep waiting for that to happen to me one of these days since I don't even use my trickle charger anymore. So far so good.
Maybe somebody messed with the switch and left it on for a bit or unplugged ya for awhile.

Sorry for laughing, but that's one of the funniest rants I've read in a while. Try walking away from the bike (and the Colt) and take another crack at it when you regain your composure.

Meh... shoulda bought a GLOCK!
As for the battery, if you had/have the trickle charger connected to the plug connector coming from the battery, make sure that the inline fuse isn't blown. I had mine on trickle for about 2 months last winter & didn't realize that it had a bad fuse. Had to replace the battery.
