A week or so ago, I mentioned that my battery is original 03
and that I never had a problem with the belt drive. Well it
bit me in the rear today. Double whammy!

First I hit the starter and get the solenoid clicking. OK,
put the battery tender on for a while and it starts. Hedge
comes over and we head out for a ride. Around 6 miles later
we're accelerating from a stoplight and I thought I missed a
shift. Nope! Belt broke! Yes Ian, you told me so.

To make it short, I rode b!tch with Hedge, and we got my
p/u and trailer, and brought it home. Ride cut short.
But, at least we didn't get caught with the trailer on the
Merritt Parkway, with an expired registration.
