    Angry Dumb Dumb

    So yesterday was one of those days.. hadn't had the time or dinero to get my 2005 Buell XB9 working so I tried to get her running and zip her over to a mechanic. First tried to jump start the batter but couldn't. Called AAA, they came, attached their jumper cables and got her running but every time he disconnected his cable/jumper, she'd die. Battery needed replacing. Okay Mr. AAA, thanks anyway. Called Pep Boys, said they had a battery, went and picked it up... I put it in, connected the cables, and nada!!! Oh wait.. the positive and negative are on opposite sides. ****! I connected the pos+ neg- backwards!!! NOOOOOOOO!!!!

    So I got the correct battery, put it in, and... Nada. Nothing. Not a peep. So, how *ucked am I? Is this an easy fix or has major damage been done? I'm no gear-head, obviously, but is there specific fuses that blew or does it go deeper than that? What's my first course of action? And yes, I already punched myself square in the face.. so at least that step has already been taken care of.

    Thank you for the advice in advance!
