Another Won't Start Thread (Oh Boy!)

I have an 04 Manual with 125k miles on it. Before you jump to conclusions, it runs like a dream, has never even thought of slowing down and is very responsive. I got my bike back a few weeks ago and the car has started sitting quite a bit. I maybe drive it two days a week now. I drove it three days ago, worked fine as always. No stumbling, hesitation, nothing.

Yesterday, I get in to go to work and the starter just spins. No turning over, no nothing. I can hear it spinning, I hear the air pump engage, but the motor won't start. Took it to the shop, replaced my started and battery, checked the flywheel to ensure teeth were all good, everything looked great. Has about 15k on plugs and coils. Wires were replaced about 25k ago. Everything looks good, I can't seem to pinpoint what it could be. I'm going in tomorrow to mess with it and see what I can find out. Going to try to push start it and ensure that everything still runs and nothing's broken. What should I be looking at? My terminals are clean, my grounds all look good. I can't imagine what would have broken overnight, it's been an amazing machine since the day I purchased it.

My mods list hasn't been updated, so I'll throw them down here, in case it makes a difference. Just a generic list. Intake filter, midpipe, exhaust, COBB AP, springs, catch can. It's been a long day, I'm missing a few but that's essentially my comprehensive performance mod list. I don't think any of those should affect it, but I am getting desperate.

Nevermind, I'm going to check it tomorrow but I can almost guarantee that it's flooded. Apparently there was some yard work done earlier in the week while I was gone. My roommate moved the car and didn't warm it up. damnit.
