OK: I may be bikeless, but not clueless: My bike ingested some debris which "pin cushioned" the head and piston but the cylinder looks fine, it then it traveled to the bottom end and froze it up, although the rod bearing seemed spared.
Eric Gorr said his backlog is now two months! But that's OK; I trust him and am willing to wait - but what do I do about being bikeless in the middle of prime riding season? Anybody want to rent me a spare? No kidding: I'm willing to pay a reasonable fee for whatever, even a rat bike but at a minimum reliable as I do go to some remote areas (no jokes 'Ol man; I know what you're thinking: that Briggs & Stratton-powered Sears minibike you have, eh? Or that SL90 with burnt valves).
I won't be using it for racing, just trail riding every other weekend and accessing course checkpoints for the next eight to ten weeks. (Oh, then there's the Widowmaker, Baja 500/1000, various SCORE and BOTW events, WORCs, 24-hour torture tests, ISDE....j/k)
