Something broke on my America. Something bad. Inside the crank case. So they had to order a new crank case, which is supposedly on it's way to America now. But it was 2 weeks ago that they said it would take 2 weeks.  Anyone have a bike they can lend me? I really miss mine. I need a 2nd bike I think.

Rough. But at least it happened in the fall and not the spring. And yes, you always need a second bike. Or a third. Or a fourth..... You see where this is going.

I hate to be the optimist (kinda like devil's advocate for me), but it will be cold soon. You won't be able to ride anyway...

That's some sort of comfort, but it was 80 and sunny the week it went into the shop.
plus, once I get it back, I'll have to ride it 40 miles to my winter storage...booo

Keep it up Dwight! You keep bragging about the weather and you're gonna have a bunch of transplants to house this winter!

Well Stew! I hope you know that you're welcome to visit (sunny) L.A. and any ol' time this winter. I do have an extra room here you could use for a couple of days. OR, there's always PRESCOTT ARIZONA too, ya know! (oh, and I forget to earlier add the following....GO DODGERS!!!) 
Yep! Just like a good Single Malt Scotch, you might call me "an acquired taste" TOO.(among the many OTHER things you may care to call me, of course)
