I got it started.  I had already tried starter fluid to no avail, which
surprised me.  It's amazing stuff.  The key was starting with a full battery
charge, locking the throttle wide open, and using starter fluid while
holding the starter button in till it showed a willingness to start.  Then I
kept doing it till it started.

Lesson learned:  Don't let your bike sit for a month after riding in a
downpour!

Thanks for the input.
Andy.
