I'm on the road again but not exactly as I had planned.
Yesterday morning I awoke with excitement to hit the road, bike was packed and ready to roll out of the garage to be hooked to my mini camper. I turn the key and pushed start and there was a little grunt & then nothing. The battery was dead.
(This battery has been known to do this since I had it)
In hindsight I should had already replaced it.
Long story short the local parts store and shops all told me it would have to be ordered & be there in 24 hrs.
Well I had my sister in-law waiting on my arrival in Indianapolis, IN and with the rain in the forecast for the next week or more... I determined the car would be the better option anyway.
Off I rolled towards Indy now everything repacked in the automobile.
However with the late start I determined it was best for me to make a stop for the night in the St. Louis area.
Little did I know what was in store there.
I stopped for fuel about 80 miles from my intended night location and booked a room at a Quality Inn.
Big surprise for me when I arrived that the Quality Inn had a sign from local authority that the Hotel was not approved for occupancy.
I spent 1/2 hour talking to Choice Hotels Customer Service trying to make sure I was not billed for that stay.
They were able to get me accommodations 4 miles away in a nice Comfort Inn for the same price.
So by 8 pm I was finally settled in my room, fed & exhausted.
This morning I'm rested, eating the free breakfast & ready for the final miles to Indianapolis.
Wish Me Better Luck Today!
