    sounds like the battery is screwed.

    try whacking on some jumper cables and try starting it.. should kick over fine.

    VS's are known for alternator/battery/starter motor issues mate, I had a similar issue with my VS not holding enough charge to spark a match. On the back of the alternator there is the wire that leads to your battery (The positive cgarge one). Check that, as they corrode and fall apart at the back of the alternator.

    Hope that helps

    +1 on the battery.

    Although, you maybe get to a point where it won't even jump.
