Okay, I had to try one more time. I had been using my credit card - no dice. This time, I tried PayPal. For reasons known only to the Almighty, it worked. (My wife doesn't know it yet, but she got it for me for Christmas.)
Technology is weird.
Edit: I just had the exact same thing happen trying to make another on-line purchase (not bike related, believe it or not). Try to pay with a credit card - no dice. Try again with PayPal - easy peasy. Technology during the Christmas season is even weirder than usual.
