Small dealers are great to work with.

My boat had a dead battery without me knowing it, because I left the running lights on during the day and didn't see they were illuminated.

The dealer I had a ramp pass at said "take a battery off my shelf, and we will charge yours while you are out." Gotta love that kinda service.

What happened to you is part of the risk of motorcycling.

One thing that drives me insane is when local highway departments use crushed stone (#1?) to resurface roads. Until it is packed down (usually takes several days), it is practically a death wish for riders if an evasive maneuver is required.
We call that "chip seal" around here, and they do it EVERYWHERE! So many roads have had it done around me lately, and not just short roads or short sections. Needless to say my B has been "grounded" for at least a week. I cringe thinking of that chip bouncing up and hit everything possible on my bike. Truck is dirty and dusty as all get out though.
