Better than ever!
after a couple of days getting the house ready for Fall, they called and told us the "King" (no, no, not Elvis - Big Dog's hog ha!) was all cured and ready to roll. Big Dog had properly diagnosed the problem.....the compensator sprocket had loosened. Had we driven the additional 900 miles we had left to get home, more than likely we would be looking to replace the whole engine. Phew...thank goodness forU-hauls and a very astute Big Dog. So.... "The King's" engine is now quiet, the pipes are loud, and both bikes are ready for whatever roads lie ahead. The trip was wonderful and seeing the family on the way home....priceless!!! As I write this I can hear the leaves and pinecones starting to fall, the shadows are getting long, and the daylight is waining fast.....WAAAA what happened to summer????????? getting chilly flame, still in T-shirts Big Dog

Now THAT's what I like to hear...the off-cadence rhythm of a big V-Twin, motoring along a country two-lane in the fall. Ahhh, does my heart GOOD!!! Even though I can't physically be there with you guys (this trip) I am there in spirit. Sweet Mercy! Like the line from the Billy Joel song - Nickey can't drive with a broken back, at least he can polish the fender.
Gettin' it ready for Spring!
