made it home. had a little problem, the bike stop running in tupper lake, ny. I had nothing, dead. made some calls. then rented a U-Haul and loaded bike for ride home. just dropped the off truck.

Check the fuse under the cover on the left side. 30 amp, and there is space for a spare in the rubber holder. It is an odd size, so you may have to go to NAPA to get a replacement.

Here is a wiring diagram to help you trouble shoot. The fuse I am talking about is shown in the upper right hand corner of the diagram.

That's a shame Earl. I'm no stranger to electrical problems with the "Phoenix". Do a load test on your battery and check your contacts. Maybe check or remove your tip switch too. Good luck. At least you made it home.

Nice 370 mile ride today from 1,000 Islands across NY. Took 30 minutes to get across the border and the XS11 handled that on-off, idle just fine. Then 12A, 3, 104 then down around the hills & dales of the Finger Lakes. In SW NY tonight. No rain and sunny ride along the southern tier.

Even rode on Hoe Road. It turned out to be gravel. Nice scenery. How did I find that one you ask?? Well when the red & blue lights started flashing I wasn't too curious to wait around to find out why they were flashing. if ya know what i mean... Just concerned that they happened to light up after I went by.

Great seeing everyone at the Rally. The news about Ken was just devastating. One of those situations where there are no words to describe the emotion. Plan to be back in Atlanta on Thursday night. I'll post some pics tomorrow.

Another finds their home roast

All righty then. After a totally awesome weekend of riding I just took a easy round about trip home. Fantastic ride thru country side, added up to a couple of extra hours and a couple of hundred kms more.
Last 15 K was rain and sunshine mixed, switched to the reserve as I sputtered into town. Totally beautiful.

Thanks to all that shared the days.

We made it home around noon.....ran the 650 on I-81 for a bit and found out it only gets 30mpg at 75mph......switched over to reserve about 5 miles from home. Marty and Sally to stay here tonight and head home from there. Thanks to all who worked on this to make it a success!

Thanx Wayne

Anyone who has organized one of these events can vouch for the amount of work that goes into it. I'm so sorry Kenny never got a chance to see the fruits of his labour. The fact that it was such a success is a testement to the amount of time and effort that went into it. I want to thank YOU Wayne for stepping up on Kens behalf to ensure that all his planning was expedited. Your a first class act Wayne, and I'm proud to call you a friend!

Thank You

I would just like to thank everyone for attending this years XSNorth 2014.

Most of all I really need to thank everyone for their generosity and overwhelming out pouring of support during this very difficult time. I just can't express in words on how grateful Maggie and myself are. I will pass along all the condolences to Ken's family.

Ken worked very hard to make this rally a very special time for everyone. I know he would have been very proud.

Thank you all again,

Wayne and Maggie for Ken Leach

Home again

I left Perth after lunch and arrived home at 8:30.
It was so hot and i could not find any shade along the route I was on (Hwy 7) By the time I got to hwy62 I was so baked broiled and done. (stick a fork in)that I took refuge in a McDonalds Where i soaked up cool Airconditioning and sucked up pails of ice tea

After ziggy zaggin through tug hill plateau land, got home at dinner time just as the thunder began and some rain started. The border at Ogdensburg was a breeze.

Thanks sent to Ken...and thoughts to his family.
and Thank you Wayne for your strength and all you've done. Hats off to you and take good care.

Nice to see everyone.

I stayed last night just north of Scranton. 906 miles down with 280 to go. Good ride so far and the bike is running well. Taking NY12 for some scenery then 1000 Islands Parkway from the bridge crossing. eta say 4pm

Mack: those 8 NGK BP6ES call it $30. The two cans of Bar Keeper's Friend, nothing.
