Checked oil level - up to spec.

Checked all contacts - battery and grounds - all tight and corrosion free.

I spoke to Neal. He told me that the roads we ride on, me with a hardtail, could easily damage a battery over the course of only a year. And my battery is mounted in the wrap-around oil tank. With no padding. Bangin'-hot.

I'm gonna get a new battery this week.

If my batteries are gonna be crapping out on me about every year, I'm gonna get the least $$ wet cell I can find.

I'll still do the alternator check.
