Just talked to the service department at the dealer. He said he had the tech look at it quickly today and it appears to be the cam chain. They are going to pencil in a full diagnostic for next Wednesday but that is not a promise.

I imagine once they do that my parts will still have to be hand crafted by TBA's Tibetan monk. Maybe they will hold up the Kon Tiki so I don't have to wait for the return trip.

Thanks Jen. Since the bike is the best reason I have for staying sober I'm there.

Only reasons to stay sober in general are the bike and the job to pay for it. Which reminds me, since the weathers not the greatest I believe it's time for a drink.

Jen, if it's your right hand, you need an early Indian, they had left hand throttles and a right HAND gear shift with a foot clutch. Surely you could rig something up......

Scott, enjoy your day OFF YA Bastardo! Thursday off indeed...... :-D

Mick

A ride, some add-ons,( long time collecting dust from my winter E-bay bidding,) then a pint and a steak to salute the day!

Oh yes...

Good for you, Scott! Twist a throttle for us, the saints of patience...

Come on LoVel, Jen, I'll join you in that pub!
