had a good day with the guys(and Wendy.)
got to do some basic wrenching on Blue(i do love getting my hands dirty with motorcycle dirt.)
took off my floor boards to go back to pegs for a while. all went well, a little help, a little guidance, and all went very well. until we set out for a ride.
now this is no one's fault by my own. i should have checked my work immediately; rather than leave Blue in the cool of the garage. but when we got geared up to ride, the bike wouldn't shift. we were ready for take off. all the bikes we running, we were sweating and ready for wind. ok, sorry guys. bikes off, kickstands down, helmets and jackets off.
Jason and John were there at the ready. i had forgotten to put the bushing for the shifter inside the bracket. Jason got the tools, John got into the fix--had Blue broken down and put back together within 5 or 10 minutes(thank you Jason and John.) very good lesson for me.
thanks for your hospitality Charlie. it really was a good day.
