Yesterday morning I was in L.A. and getting on my bike at about 5:30 in the A.M. It seemed to turn over a bit slow and it concerned me. As I rode south on the 605, 405 then to the 5 I kept thinking about the slow start. I knew I should have replaced that battery but it was only a year old, but I am guessing it has about 20,000 miles on it.
I hit San Diego at about 8:00 and headed straight into Tijuana and got the necessary paperwork I will need as a tourist in Mexico.
I turned around and came back to the U.S. side, made a right and rode to Tucson then to Nogales. I stationed myself 3 miles from the Mexico border so I could leave bright and early. Well, 7am this morning I am about to leave and the bike will not turn over.
Long story short I got her running and had to head north to Tucson for a new battery.
I ended up at On Any Moto on Grand (Exit 256 I-10) and they set me up with a new a battery ($113.61). It was a little more than what I hoped to pay but I have no idea what average costs are in this area of the country. The staff was very friendly and helpful.
If you are on the road and you need something these guys may have it (tires, gear, parts and a shop) and they are easy to find.
I am still figuring what I will do for the rest of the day, Mexico or maybe I will wait till morning.
