{snipped for brevity}I was still in 4-wheel low!!!! Good Lordy Agnes. How stupid of me. I felt like a four year old that was caught with my hand in the candy jar. I sheepishly called the GS agent and told him we didn't need the tow any more. He asked what happened and although I didn't really lie (okay, maybe I did a little), but I told him that it just started working fine! He called off the tow truck, and we headed for home at 65 uneventful MPH.
So there, I've come clean in a public forum.
Dumb question: Did you not notice the 4x4 LOW indicator light on the dashboard? Or the light on the switch (that some have)? Yeesh!
That being said, I had just brought my new motorcycle home, parked it in the garage, then went back out to start it back up. Turned the key, no-go. Lights on, got fuel, but no crank. Whiskey, Tango, Foxtrot!??! I literally had it running two minutes ago!! Now I'm pissed... Start checking this, that, and the other thing, surf the internet forums searching for an answer, all to no avail.
And then it dawned on me: That kill switch on the right handlebar of every motorcycle? Yeah, on that particular bike it says specifically NOT to use it, but apparently I had bumped it while dismounting or mounting. {facepalm} With both ignition switches ON, it purred like a kitten!
