Car sat for 7 days then wouldn't start

Last week I rode my motorcycle for 3 days, then we went to Vegas on Thursday-Monday. I went to go to work on Tuesday and my battery was dead as a hammer. Nothing worked. I hooked up the booster box and it started right up, have not had a problem since. I checked the current draw at the battery and got -0127mA.

What would cause this to happen? The battery is only 9 months old (non OEM). The only thing that seemed odd is that my power door locks wouldn't work with the key fob before I left, they would work with the key at the door. Now the key fob works as usual.

it should be a 20-30 milliamp draw, its most likely your HFL unit. Hook up the voltmeter and then uplug fuses to the HFL system to see if the oltage drops to around 20-30, 50 at max. If so, you have a faulty HFL unit that does not go into sleep mode, but you must check this after locking the car for 15 minutes as the time for HFL to go to sleep it 15 minutes.
