We got Mikes bike home. He had partial gears most of the way home. Very weird transmission problem. The ride north today was great, but going home felt like a blast furnace. Nice riding with you guys today. Hopefully can do it again with no mechanical probs. Chris, your friend Andy seems like a great young man and a credit to the marine Corps. great to meet you also. lets do it again when things cool off a bit. later.....
