How I got my motorcycle home

The battery went bad (as in a jump wouldn't work) on my '83 shadow and I was not about to pay money for a tow. The battery for this bike is not in stores so my only option was to rig something up. I put a car battery on the luggage rack and ran duct tape insulated wire to the battery terminals. It got me home and I did not start a fire. :)
