Home !!! 

I can't thank everyone enough for the assistance. 

Huntinggunns & VcFR for the 500 mile trailer rescue run and locating the parts.  Corner Carver clan, Sweeper, Q-Dawg, and others for the wrenching. 

Here's to old friends reacquainted and to the new friends made, with every one being the best of friends. 

Thank you again,

Kevin 

PS - Thank you Tony for another SumSum success.  

Fred and Lisa arrived Bozeman last night at 10pm.  It was a VERY long day for them.

Just unloaded at the Rocket, headed to get Kevin now. We'll all see you guys tomorrow

 

I can't thank Fred and Lisa enough for what they are doing for me.  They are driving 500 miles to Bozeman to get me to Custer.  Yes, a thousand miles round trip !!!   

I sent a PM to Josh / Tightwad this morning to see if he has a stator, regulator and gasket available for a 2007 VFR.  

Don’t know if stator has been replaced.  If not replaced as park of normal maintenance then not likely.  

At least it died when I was at a rest stop and not out in the middle of nowhere without cell service to call a tow.   Was able to book a hotel for at least 3 nights. 

I’ve also called the Rocket about my predicament. 

Will update when I have news.

Any idea what the problem might be?  

Could be bad battery - but was replaced this year.    

Tow Is here.  Time to go

I’m going to be late if show up at all.  

My ride died on me at the rest stop on I-90 between  Bozeman and Billings.  Waiting for a tow back to Bozeman for service that won’t be open until Monday.   So I’ll be staying a few days in Bozeman.    

This hasn’t been my day to say the least.  

Kevin. 

Bags are packed and tank is filled.  Also stopped by the ATM for Tony's payback cash.  💲 

Leaving Friday morning and will arrive late Monday afternoon.  

Looking forward to seeing everyone.

I will have gps route files available after the weekend.  I can either post them up or email them out to those who can use them.

Thanks yet again Kevin.  Lead post edited.

I was thinking a show up Tuesday and leave Thursday for a one-day Wednesday meet was a bit too short.  Had booked Thursday night just in case.

I should hope so?  Thursday night will be the wind up dinner and parking lot proceedings.

Might be best to note that Friday is the official departure day.  I was reading the July 10-12 as meaning the departure (checkout) date was Thursday. 

Room booked... 

Brenda (hotel owner) requested that if someone is going to trailer their motorcycle, to please mention it when reserving a room so that parking can be made available.

Booked a non-smoking room today with a Friday departure. 

Brenda (hotel owner) requested that if someone is trailering their motorcycle to please mention it when reserving a room so that enough parking will be made available for everyone.  

Once again, thanks Tony for all you've done and continue to do.

Kevin 

Arrived home at 5:30 pm.  Was delayed about hour and half trying to get over I-90 Snoqualmie Pass due to heavy traffic and construction restricting traffic lanes.  Got a bit toasty sitting in stop and slow traffic under a hot sun. 

Thanks Mike for another Nelson success!  Great seeing old friends and meeting new ones on this trip.

You'll be long ahead of me. Not leaving Hillsboro until 0600

From Hillsboro, OR to Nelson in one day?  That's a marathon trip!

What time are you planning on leaving Wenatchee Cageless?

On the road by 7 AM.  6 AM at the earliest.  

Just arrived in Wenatchee for the night.  Will be heading north via 97 and 20 to Northport and stopping in Trail if I arrive before 2 pm for lunch at the Colander.  Thanks for mentioning it Choco.  I remember we stopped there on our way to KH2, but didn't remember the name.  See ya'll tomorrow in Nelson.

I think MaxSwell is the one with past experience to help provide the main ingredient.    Order up !!! 

Hey, not bad.  Thanks for the preview of my shirt. 

Kevin

Just how many of you murderous sons of beeches are we going to have here? I count three so far. Four if it includes in cars.

I might qualify; but no deer. Motorcycle: dog (survived - avoided one but sideswiped the other one), one snake. Motorcycle / Car: chipmunks. Car: possum and kamikaze bird.

Looks like I can get the time off, so I just registered. Thanks Mike for putting this together.
