Default My bike... died?

My bike was running great... so I was just out cruising..

I come home and bring the bike in the house. I let it sit for about 1 hour I would say... friend comes over and we go to ride.. I put the key in the ignition I see all the lights come on then immediately blink off. I checked ALL of the fuses.. nothing

Now when I put the key to the "On" position no lights or anything come on. I have no clue what is wrong w/ the bike and I don't have the money to like take it to Barneys or any Performance shop so I am in a tight situation. I get out of work at 1:30 tonight. If someone is willing to come help me figure this out I will appreciate it greatly. I will like cook them chicken dinner or something if everything turns out good. I am extremely frustrated because this is my only means of transportation.

I have a weird feeling that the ignition fried... no clue why it would do that, but I am getting REALLY aggrivated. I already checked the battery and both connections to the battery, both have juice and are tightened down good.

Also the bike is a 98 cbr 600. thanks josh

Could have shorted the battery out.

Wasn't the battery, it was rather dumb. There was a fuse to the battery..... right next to the battery. And it had went out or something and got me a little aggrivated.. fixed now tho

I did the same thing with my old honda, so don't feel bad, those master fuses can be a bitch, somehow by the grace of whoever is holy they had one at the closest gas station!!
