Picked up the new battery for the cycle today, will install it soon. Hopefully, this will resolve the issues I've been having, but there are a couple more things I need to investigate.
I think I may have finally found a handlebar set that will work for the new cycle I want to buy. Been looking for well over a month, and this is the only one I can find that matches the style I want. I'm waiting on a call-back to verify specs, but if it's good, I might end up 'ordering' this bike in September (that's when the new sales incentives come out - I'm hoping for some sort of cash-back option). Anyway, I'm cautiously optimistic.
Also, WJC just told me yesterday that his wife's Volt was parked outside while they were away on a trip last week/end& was badly damaged by hail - like, hundreds of little dents all over. He's talking to his insurance co. about it, but thinks they'll likely total it out, as the repair would cost almost as much as the car is worth. This means, I might be able to either buy his wife's car after they 'total' it out (meaning it would have a salvage title), or he might keep that one & sell me his (that I was originally looking at buying). Right now, we're waiting on numbers from the insurance adjuster to see how it all might work out for him (and then, for me). Either way, I might be getting a Volt & if I do, I can sell the SUV I'm running now. If I do that, I'd probably come out net-positive on cash (truck should be worth more than the purchase price of the Volt), which I could apply to the cycle purchase as well. I'm also fairly optimistic about this - I'd really enjoy having this car (either one), as I love the styling, and I'd almost never have to buy gasoline anymore (except for the cycles). I also know that WJC maintains his cars very well, which is something I couldn't say about finding one at a dealer or from a private seller.
As always, I don't want to get my hopes up though - things have a way of working out differently than I anticipate, so it pays to not expect anything.
