Hello! Day 3 and we have already had to make adjustments in our schedule. Day 1 took us to Spokane and wonderful eastside weather and accomodations with the Jondal's. Dan spoiled us with dinner, a swim and great visit. When we got up to head out at 8 am the bike wouldn't start and Mark pushed it down a big hill to compression start it. That was the beginning of the many problems so we inched our way as far as Couer d' Alene where the nearest Harley shop is. Mark had done all the back yard mechanics he could. Of course most Harley shops are closed on Monday's so we have made the Shilo Inn our home for now- right next to the Harley shop. We made the most of it by walking to the Lake for dinner last night (6 miles RT) and Mark was first in line at the service dept. today. We are waiting for a diagnosis (at least 4 more hours) and then will regroup. Thanks to Ken Lee for the advice! I've changed our reservations for the next few days and we may have to forgo Yellowstone to get to Sturgis by Saturday. Oh well, at least it didn't happen on the middle of a pass with no cell phone reception and grizzlies and escaped inmates! We will let you know more when we do. So for now, the area is not a bad place to call home!
Bummer...but we are glad you are safe...thinking of you
ReplyDeleteWell - you already have a good story to tell. . . and you will laugh about it . . . someday?
ReplyDeleteEnjoy Sturgis!! We went last year and loved the ride on 16A. It is so beautiful to take it all the way down through Custer State Park and then to the Wind Caves.
We head out on Friday for our Hot Springs Tour 2010 - but I will try to follow your journey.
May you have nothing but sunny skies and smooth roads. . .and LEO's only when you need em!
Love,
Stacey
