I'm Back!!!

Hello everyone!!!

I'm back!! - It's time we got these POD's started again!!! So, I decided to start off with the really bad news first, and of course after this news - things will keep getting better and better. Don't forget to check back every day for a new and exciting picture from the 'life of Tom'.

I was working late on Friday night, and close to midnight I was walking to my motorcycle when I noticed four guys walking "away" from my moto. Didn't think anything of it, this is Geneva right? So, I put on my gloves and helmet, jumped on the bike, turned the key and all of the gauges and lights came on as normal, then instantly shut off. After that... Nothing. I tried and tried everything, but couldn't get any power to the bike.

So, after 20 minutes of checking fuses, checking the charge on the battery, checking switch connections; I decided to leave her and walk home. When I came back Saturday morning, after 10 minutes of close inspection, this is what I found.

Apparently, someone cut my ignition wires and tried to "hotwire" and steal my bike. I got really lucky - the moto-gods are smiling on me. Even though I was pretty upset, I soldered up the wires and wound up going on my scheduled motorcycle ride through Switzerland, regardless. Make sure to check back, you don't want to miss the pics from that ride!!! And, from now on, I'm putting on my wheel lock, locking the handlebars and setting the alarm - so nothing to worry about.

Cheers!
