Well it was custom! He did a fine job of it too.
It's not looking to good for us at this point. I spent the morning going to Knoxville to pick up Jays bike. Got half way home and has to turn around and take it back. They checked every thing and test rode it. Couldn't find any thing wrong so I head home again. Got about 10 miles from the dealer and the bike started cutting out again like it was losing power then it would just pick up and run. I said to hell with it I rode it to the house in Madisonville and parked it so Jay. Oils ride it to the house in Niota when he got home. Did the same thing to him so now he is changing the fuel filter in hopes that's the problem. If not the problem the bike goes back to the dealer Tuesday morning and no guarantee he will have it back by Thursday. If not I reckon he will have to ride mine and I will be riding my yamaha. What a day I tell you. I was close to kicking the bike over in the road and callin the deler and telling them to come get the bike.

Should have left mine in H'ville and taken the Greyhound home so Jay would have something to ride/thrash.

My bike is in the shop

Waiting for a $1.50 part to ship from Triumph. O-ring for the water pump. I have ordered one from Biker Bandit and hopefully it will ship overnight in time for the mechanic to install it and get me my bike before Thursday. Otherwise I will look to rent a bike, as I do not want to miss this event.

In the meantime Yankee and I spent the better part of yesterday wiring up all kinds of new gadgets for his Rocket. I guess worst case I can ride ***** on his bike

I am bringing a couple of my redneck ignition switches because I am sure someones will fail it happens every event ...... As a matter of fact I am going to sell squares and have an ignition failure pool and sent the results to Triumph America

Anybody have an extra tps they can bring ? Tune program and a cable ...... Dave usually has brake pads and I will have dot 4 fluid with me......
