Clutch lever, kickstand, neutral... probably the neutral...

Well you're fried, take 2 beers and look at it in the morning.
clutch lever... not, it started.
neutral... not, it started.
Both of these have to be "on" to start with the kickstand down.
tick, tick, tick, bing
most likely kickstand. I assume you had it down to start, then put it up to go. You did put it up before you put it in gear didn't you?

Couple hundred yards to get to a place I could put the truck in a ditch so the angle to push the bike up into the bed would be better. Did it last Saturday.

I pushed mine about 100 yards in 102 heat and humidity, sweating and cussing the entire time. In full gear (I did take my helmet off).

Thank the stars above for the nice couple from Ohio who pulled over with their trailer and loaded Suzi up for a trip to the gas station.

Note to self - adjust the distance that "Reserve" can get you before the next gas station.... Wink

You are da man! That's a long way to push a bike, of any weight! He!l, that's a long way for me to walk, pushing nothing! LOL
If my bike died any more than 1/2 mile from my house, I'd almost have to trailer it. Too many curves/gravel on side of road/impossible places to go while pushing a bike..... not to mention the one-lane tunnel in one direction. I hate to even walk through that thang (running is possible on a green light)

Now go get her fixed!
