Easy Rider 2006: The Road NOT Travelled

It could be just bad luck, or it could be an omen, or it could be my mother's latent telepathic ability -- we don't really know, but none the less, we are still here in Seattle tonight. We'd loaded up the bikes, locked up the house, and were sitting astride the mounts when Tony's bike failed to start. Digging into the owners manual it appears to be an electrical short of some sort, and try as we might to find anyone with some diagnostic and mechanical skills to get us going, we were unable to get Tony's Road King to come to life.

Our plan now is to have the bike towed to the Harley Dealership about 7am so we are first in line in the morning when they open up. Then we'll beg, plead, bribe or do whatever it takes to see if they can get his bike fixed and running. At that point we'll start heading out -- doing our best to keep to our initial itinerary.

We absolutely must be in Pocatello, Idaho by Sunday afternoon for the first SMC concert -- so we have plenty of time for repairs and changes in plans.

But for now, we are eating Taco Bell tacos, having given all our food to the neighbors, and generally pouting and sulking, and crossing our fingers for a speedy repair tomorrow so we can get on our way.

Living in stage two (after denial, but before bargaining)...and still in Seattle..and very disappointed...
