once you get it running again, i'd check the charging system and make sure it's working. running around with the high beam on shouldn't kill a battery.

once it's running, put a volt meter across the battery, and rev the bike to about 3k rpm, the volt meter should be at about 12v at idle, and around 14 or so at 3k rpm. if it doesn't go up, then the charging system isn't working.

and yes, you can jump it with a car. people always say you can't, or shouldn't do it, but as long as the car is just idling, it won't hurt anything, unless you have a very high output alternator on the car.
