Duh and Thanks. I'm not sure why i forgot that, but you're right - I hadn't pulled in the clutch. I can come up with some excuses, none of which are good enough. Here's a few - 1) I'm 72 years old 2) I also ride two Harleys that don't need the clutch pulled in to start 3) I've only ridden the R3R 300 miles since August of 2019 due to mechanical issues 4) Oh, did I mention I'm 72 years old? Thanks again. You made my day!
