placelast, did you end up getting a temporary ride?
Kinda - got a beater; the thing's been raced for a few years and show it - was even put away wet, but does run. It leaks oil out of one fork seal, the lower shock bearing is shot, and it need a new top end, but hey, I'm grateful to have something.
I took it partially apart to haul back to the bachelor pad in my rental car, and will ask the owner where he posted the pixs so you guys can get a look/see atmy madness. I tore it completely apart this week, but may have to go with a worn barrel/new piston to make the Saturday ride deadline, and even then that engine will have to go in my chassis as I may not be able to get a rear suspension rocker bearing in time, or the fork tube patched up (deep nicks). One of the local shops is measuring the jugs I have; I''ll use the best one (prolly mine) to give me some level of confidence.
Speaking of confidence I picked up another tow rope but think Matt will rightfully hang me high if we have to go thru that again, so late in the day with the sun going down, and the cold settling in =:-o
