Mind the Gap

This morning, even with a full battery, the bike still didn't start, but it did seem to be getting better (well, at least it wasn't making the click-click battery dead noise). I talked to my Dad, and he suggested gapping the spark plugs, which of course was the one step in the repair manual that I skipped, given that I had no idea what it meant. So back to the auto supply store for a 99-cent gapping tool, and voila, the bike is running again. I still need to get it tuned-up (anybody know the best Harley mechanic near West Seattle?) but at least I'll be able to ride it to the shop, avoiding another costly tow!
