I guess that will teach me to crash.

From my getoff in early Feb link, I have learned several things.

Gear is good

gravel is not

just cause the repair shop is "authorized" does not mean they know what they are doing

Take your bike to a place you trust, not a "recommended" place

A broken frame does not mean a new bike (I wish it did)

new sales come first

Its a good thing I decided not to go to Nafo, cause I may(still) be FJRless that weekend.

Long story short. After my repair center fixed my bike twice and it was still screwd up.

I took it to D&H a few 5 weeks ago (spring fling weekend in Ark April 26) And they have not yet touched it. I know they will get it right WHEN the get around to it, but this sucks. I have missed half a year. After speaking with Gerald, "they are too busy assembling all the new bikes they have sold, to work on other stuff at the moment"

I understand business, you go where the money is, but it doesn't make me any happier. I've missed half a riding year already. At this rate of the bike staying parked, Brundog is gonna catch me.

At least I am hitting the track one a month. This month is Nashville, Last month was Road ATL, prior was Barber and little Tally.

That leave Roebling Road next. My goal is to hit all tracks in 4 hours of the house this summer.

 
I hear what your saying Fence, just be glad you weren't laid up in a hospital for a month!!

Hope you get her back on the road soon.

This is a good reason to go buy yourself another bike.

After being out of a bike for 1 month getting my ticker fixed a few years ago, I got myself a back up. ( '03 Buell XB9s ) Now no worries if I have to lay up the FJR for service or repairs.

Came in handy when I had to get the tick fixed for the second time. I would be climbing the walls by now.

I hope they get to it and you are back on the road soon.
