Regerts Of Not Vlogging Repairs

[ShadowRide]

The wife's 2009 Ultra had a dead battery. No surprise, it was an old battery and we tend to just run them when we can in the winter and see what happens. Sometimes, what happens is you need to buy a new battery.

I decided against bothering with taking a video of the battery replacement. It was eventful.

First, she takes the battery to the H-D dealer to trade it in for a new one. She throws it on the counter and says that she needs a battery for HER Ultra. HD wants to promote women riders, but they acted like she was an alien. A woman repairing her own Ultra? The look on their face was one of shock. We're in our mid-50's too, so they're shocked at that. It would have made a great video, missed it.

Then, we tear into the battery and the previous owner just rat nested the wiring for all of the lights on this bike. It's a rolling light show and looks awesome until you see the innards. We have some work to do to get it right. I wasn't sure we'd have enough threads to get everything bolted to the post that needed a direct connection.

The camera wasn't running for any of it. After it was done, I thought about the missed opportunity. Lesson learned.

Well you can't record everything. But you ended up with a story to tell

It is like the fisherman with the fish that got away... the best things always happen when no one is watching!

I am terrible about remembering to hit record on projects like that. I'm too focused on getting the job done, and vlogging it seems to triple the time required

Especially, if you need to work in tight space. Always adjusting the camera angle...

It's unfortunate that you missed the opportunity to capture the battery replacement process on video, but it sounds like it was eventful nonetheless. It's great to hear that your wife is a rider and taking care of her own Ultra. It's a shame that the HD dealer was surprised by this, but hopefully, they will become more accustomed to women riders in the future. It's also good to hear that you were able to sort out the rat-nested wiring and get everything connected properly, even if it was a bit challenging. Perhaps in the future, you can remember to capture these moments on video to share with others.

Over on my channel I document fixing the bike or general maintence, but sometimes I get so into what I am doing I completely forget to film!
