This is my old battery. Because I’m quite experienced at getting the battery out, I even remembered to put in a stack of wood blocks so that it wouldn’t drop right out onto the ground and explode. Suzuki was not thinking when they designed my motorcycle. It’s pretty, and powerful, and I still like it, but it wasn’t designed to be worked on.

While inserting the new battery on Thursday I twisted wrong, and somehow yanked a muscle in my glute, right up to about midway through my left back. So, yesterday was an uncomfortable day, physically. Hobble, hobble, wince, hobble, so that’s what it’s like to be 90.

And yet…the bike starts right up. :)
