    Could be! Kinda why I Posted it in reference. Kinda pissed that they used "Johnny Utah" in the movie in the 80's at that time. I was not a fan until I read his life story. He is amazing in his gun skills due to his last film! Check him out on you tube!

    Yeah, I've seen a few of the videos where he's running and gunning and also the making of John Wick - I definitely appreciate his work ethic and preparation. I thoroughly enjoyed John Wick 1 & 2 and really want to see what they do with 3.

    Took me all of 10 seconds to suss that out.

    Think about what you were doing at the time? Did you disconnect anything or add anything into the harness?

    I have not seen either, but you can bet on more of the same.
    They make a movie, it makes a ton of money for them.
    Hey, let's do it again! and again, and again until people puke. :rolleyes:

    Not saying I blame them. Money is handy. ;)

    They're talking about Keanu Reeves and his latest movie franchise, John Wick.

    Cheers. Don't get out much. Nearest cinema is over 100 miles away.

    Great job Fink! You've given me a great idea for a new game show
    modeled after the old Name That Tune - we could call it Name That Sort :D

    Caught the second one on the plane heading back home from vacation. Saw the Star Wars Rouge 1 too. Unfortunately it was on a small screen. I'll probably Netflix John Wick 2 to see it on a larger screen. Some of the scenes at night were hard to see. Don't need to see Rouge 1 again though, it was a decent movie but kind of lacked luster compared to the original series.

    If I were to nitpick, I might have chosen to change the fight choreography a little bit here and there but overall I really really like the action! I've only met Chad Stahelski once (early 90's, while I was working at the dealership, he came in looking for protective gear for movie stunt work) but we have at least one MA/MMA instructor in common so I feel a 2nd or 3rd degree cousin kind of kinship towards him. I'm a fan of his and David Leitch's team - 87Eleven - and think it's great that although they are primarily a stunt/action crew, they were able to fully direct JW1 and 2. Without giving anything, hopefully, away, John Wick is in a little different type of situation in JW3 and I'm wondering how they're going to handle that...

    I definitely liked Rogue 1 better than The Force Awakens - HATED that movie...

    Fink, I think and thank you for your questions that made me persistence of thinking this threw and may have given me the answer. I should have known to check the fuses as a starting point diagnosing electrical issues! I do it at home and work, but I think that I was just so pissed and done with the overheat Iwas done! BUT..

    I did have an A/C adaptor (the same one that A.M. has attached to my battery directly again like she does) Usually it feeds out under front of the seat up the gas tank and has a rubber cap on the end of the connection. When the overheating occurred, I changed the radiator cap and added coolant. I forgot to pull it back out from under the seat not knowing it at the time due probably to how pissed I was. At that point I was good to go! Then being intrigued about ergonomics, I went to adjust my levers, I put in on its center stand. That is was when the failure occurred. Per your solution possibly, and after checking the switch wires to the starter button on the bars. I looked at the fuses and yes I found the blown fuse. I forgot about taking the adaptor off entirely and putting it aside. Thank you for the statement "think about what you where doing at the time", I was like "Shit nothing"! for days. Then it hit me as I vaguely remember seeing the adaptor end bare without the cap on when I took it off. Tonight when I got home with the bike at the shop I picked up the adaptor and found that it had its inline 5amp fuse blown. End result- I think that the adaptor had the cap off and hit some metal when I put the bike on the center stand and blew out the 10amp fuse needed to start. Thank again.

    Great news that you solved it.
    If you keep the Harley the arseless chaps will still be useful.
