Might be time to get rid of the bike I bought it new in 2005 and for the first time in 70000miles it did not start with the first push of the button, what kind of crap is Triumph selling.
If I have to push the button twice to make it start I will have to start working on some thumb exercises.

Deal, the best breakfasts I had were at the Waffel house on Santa Rosa Is. I stayed at the Breakers a few blocks away. Loved the room and the Gulf view, but that dang cold wet weather made working outside all day a tad bit 'Un-fun".
