Went to walmart to grab some stuff and afterwards went to the wendys drive thru. With wearing the helmet and the loud bike I hit the kill switch at the order queue and at the windows. When I went to leave the battery was too low to turn the bike over. I pushed the bike out of the way and sat there contemplating my choices. I was really looking forward to just eating my take out at home and not while waiting for a friend with jumpers. so I hopped on youtube and watched a vid about push starting a bike. I gave it a try, although I chose to stay on the bike. I was on mostly flat ground but there was a small grade down leaving the lot I pushed down it with the bike, dumped the clutch in 2nd whilst hitting the starter and a slight twist of the throttle and bam she fired right up. I was pleasantly surprised at how easy it was to do. I've done this in my old truck but never on a bike before. I'm glad I know I can do it on decently flat ground in case the need arises again in the future.
