Title: Five minutes wasted in a D'oh moment
Post by: quinnmallory on February 24, 2012, 05:23:47 AM
Went out to bring the Yager in from the street to park it in the garage. Frakking thing wouldn't start! I cranked the engine multiple times...nothing! It would crank and crank, but the engine just wouldn't ignite. Finally, pushed it into the garage, which is on an incline. Thank goodness it wasn't my old Piaggio X9 or I wouldn't have made it up the incline at all. Finally got it in the garage, put it on the center stand, left-locked the steering and yanked the keys out. Went to flick the engine kill switch off and...oops. It was already off. I did one of those loud forehead slapping things where you move your hand down from your forehead to your chin.

Man, I was kinda sad to hear that all of that kid's videos were staged. Took the fun out of it. Apparently they were all his idea. You have to admit the kid, and his brother, have talent.

Anyway, yeah I've forgot to turn that safety switch on a million times. The mechanic at the dealer even told me when I bought it to check that any time it wouldn't start. At the time I thought "I know that".
