Scooter down.

Not a good day yesterday. I left the apartment for my daily pickup at the post office, turned the key on the Burgman, and—nothing.
 
The display didn't even come on.
 
The Burgman has a parking light setting on the ignition; if one turns the key one more step past the steering lock setting it turns on some smaller lights on the bike (parking lights). I've done it a few times, and I've also done it a few times by accident, but caught it as I would walk away from the bike or a kind neighbor would tap on my door to let me know I had lights still on.
 
That neighbor is long gone; and I guess I must have done it again the other afternoon when I returned from getting my mail. In any event, I came out yesterday morning to a Burgman with no power. I'm assuming it's a drained battery.
 
Luckily, a Battery Tender Jr. was only $26 shipped from Amazon.com Prime, so I'm waiting for that to arrive today to try charging the battery back up and hopefully on Saturday I'll be back on the road. It's a lot less expensive than a $75 motorcycle battery.
