first off clarify your subject i thought someone died while riding...

and also was your speedo working towards the end of the ride? because more than likely its just your battery going bad, mine just did the same thing after sitting for the season, you wont even be able to push start it... should be and easy fix
good luck

yeah if the bettery is already going then sitting for days at a time without a trickle charger will push it faster...
best bet go out and buy a new battery there only 40 bucks and you should be set...
