Had an interesting morninig.....

I had a hard braking this morning, gate across the road was in place when its not supposed to be at that time. Went around a turn and there it was... closed. Hit both brakes, locked up the front, released front and held the rear. Skidded and almost went sideways down til I released the rear. Got back upright just in time to bump the gate - thank god it was not locked or chained. Bike just pushed through at about 3 mph. Now the problem - continued on to work w/o issue. Left work and turned the key, nothing. Flicked the shutoff swith a couple times (read about that here), turned key a few times nothing. Checked battery for lose conntection- ok there. Read somewhere on here about taking it in and out of gear for an electrical problem then Moved bike back and forth. Tried key and bingo started right up. I am assuming its a lose connection/short somewhere but was looking for the most logical place to start after checking battery conncections based on the evidence?

Forgot to add, I cant repeat the electrical failure.

Any suggestions would be most welcome? I will post this in a new thead if needed.
