We get to Richmond, hit an Advance Auto and get the battery tested. I am really hoping this is the problem. I can buy him a new battery/pay it forward and send him on his way. Dude is 21. I know he could use a favor. The battery tests good. It's now about 1pm. Maybe we can take it to a local dealer and they can fix it or sell us the parts and he can fix it at my office/shop and be on his way. The bike is a Honda VRF800. We give the local Honda dealership a call. They can't even look at it today. We go over our options.
"Any friends in Richmond I can drop you at while you figure things out?
Family in Northern Va have pickup/vehicle that can carry the bike? We can meet them in Fredericksburg."
No to both of those questions. Next post.
