  • Colorado Assistance Needed

    I stopped for the night in Torrington Wyoming and have a broken exhaust stud on number 1 cylinder. If you have a driveway I can work in and a drill (or just electricity and I will buy you a drill) to replace it I would be most appreciative.

    We will be hitting Ft Collins late this morning.

    Try me by PM and i will send a cell number (based on which might have reception). Our motel has wifi tonight.

    I will be tracking down a new stud as soon as we hit town.

    Thanks

    Met John, his sons and John's friend(1800Wing) riding to Denver to meet up with them and ride some Co. mountain roads with them south for several hundred miles. Met up at another members house and John had drilled the stud and using an easy-out remaining stud would NOT budge. Rather than make things worse, he decided to leave well enough alone. Rained two out of the three days I rode with them. They split off at Pagosa Springs, Colo. after we all had lunch(John had to take right side control off and retrieve the start button after it dissapeared inside the control) and were headed south for Santa Fe, N.M. en route back home. Sure he'll be postin here pertaining to there what looked like to end up being close to a 7,000mi. trip for them all.

      Yup thanks Brant for the recap. I plan a ride report but need to get my pics ready. Too much going on with my Aunt in hospice but at least we made it back in time. 7,105miles.
