Ok, I'll tell the story. Henry, Mav, myself and our SO's went a different route Friday. We headed over to ride the dragon. Mav's got an 06 SEUC with the 103. We made it to Andrews N.C. and we pulled over under a canopy as the rain was setting in. When we pulled out, I fell in behind Mav and I knew something wasn't right. It sounded like it was hitting on one cylinder. He managed to get it up to 30 or so, and it died. We coasted into Cherokee County Cycles. they service harleys and rent bikes. I mean, if you had to break down, the only thing more you could ask for would be to break down at home. I doubt I'll ever break down there. After we hung around for a couple of hours, we found out her had a bent pushrod and the heads needed to come off. We talked Jerry into renting a bike and leave his with the guy overnight. Some kid that works there, pulled the rental into service and make sure it was topped off with oil etc. Evidently he thought it was a Briggs an Straton engine, because it had 9 quarts of oil in it. We made it to robbinsville, about 25-30 miles away before we noticed a quart of oil on Pam's leg, a quart on the bike, and a quart on Jerry. (photo attached) Jerry called the guy and he came over with a trailer and towed it, and Jerry and Pam back to his shop. I think that's when Jerry wisely decided to get his bike home for the repairs. His brother lives in Chatanooga and graciously came over and got him Saturday evening.
