Son is on leave and in town

Dinner was had at Zorba's, and it was good.

We took a look at the Vulcan; does look like the rectifier is shot. He ran the tests(I DID have the meter set right!) and got the same results. It looks like the stator is good, happily, as that sucker's expensive.

When we pulled the rectifier found what may have done it: the top has a strip of some compound that seals the internals off from the elements, and there's a tiny crack along one edge where it doesn't seal anymore.

I think I'll start looking for a new(new to me, at least) bike, but at least this should get the Vulcan going again; I miss riding.
