If the battery tests good, then you need to look at the starting solenoid and the started/generator brushes.

Exactly what I was thinking. Except I didn't know the names of all of those other parts. The connection's are not loose, nor corroded.
Actually, what I was thinking was that it might not be the battery and it might be the starter (I have no idea where that is or how to test it). I lifted the seat, checked the connections, looked at some other things that the battery was connected to and decided, "Welp, I'm out!" Auto repair was never one of my strong suits.
I watched a video on how to remove the battery. To quote Dana Carvey as GWB, "Not gonna' Happen".
I called Todd Casey. He's coming by tomorrow.
