Howdy FLA Crew Folks...
Thanks a ton for the ride and great welcome yesterday. Appreciate all of the welcome messages. Think I've found another home as you folks ride the way I like riding. Was especially glad to represent the PGR for this ride. Those who earn my freedom to own and ride, I highly appreciate. My thanks to Jerry and Jerry, Jr. as well as all who serve. Stay safe.
wideglide95th, hope you can solve the electrical issue. A battery would be a nice easy fix. Also had a good time on the last half of the ride with cHarley, Kimbo, and Roadie Gluidin'. Thanks, Gents. Lookin' forward to the next ride. And, will look into Ocala event.
You're all invited to ride with to Sebring and back next Saturday 04Oct if so inclined. A few friends from a previous life and I keep a little ride calendar up, and I'll be posting updates there for Saturday. It's not really a group, just friends. http://home.comcast.net/~martinsb/
Looking forward to more FLA Crew encounters.

Found the problem guys!
First I checked the voltage on the battery. Only 10 volts. Removed it and placed it on charge. Got my service manual and was going to check the ohm of the stator and regulator at the plug. Removed the plug that goes from the regulator and plugs into the stator plug at the engine case on the left side of the bike right beneath the oil filter. This is what I found. One of the prongs had broken off. So far not able to get the broken piece out of the stator plug. Will continue to work on it. Got to by a new regulator to get that plug. Or carry some wire cutters around with me and get one off another bike and splice it. YALL watch out. Just kidding.

Hey guys,
I'm glad everyone is ok. As for my feeling, I did not know this was going to happen. I just knew I was suppose to stay home. I didn't get the feeling until I saw my GF in the dark when I walked back into the house to get something I forgot. She told me she was waiting for me to leave. I pried a little harder and then she told me she was also having a funny feeling about my trip. That is when I decided to cancel my trip. I'm just glad everyone is okay.
