    Hello Everyone. What a fabulous weekend. Very special Thank You to Karl and Sharon and Mike Romo for waiting at the gas station for me to get my RT started after fueling up. Thank you!
    This is what I believe happened: In my exuberance to complete the task and remount my tank bag and get going, I failed to properly seat the fuel filler cap. The bike will not start unless the cap is seated properly, and securing the bag partially lifted the opening tab, which tells the engine: do not start!. Of course, with the bag mounted, I could not see anything, but I randomly pushed the bag a bit, which must have released the opening tab so that the engine and computers agreed to allow me to start my bike. Whew – what a lesson!
    Thank you Karl and Sharon and Mike for making sure I got started before heading on done the road.
