the side of the road, the high speed side 'cause that's where I was.
My rear end locked just as I was coming to a stop. Nothing bad
happened, and the bike didn't go down. I called AAA, after a nice guy
stopped and let me use his cell phone. I own a cell phone, but I use
it mainly for emergencies. Therefore, it stays in my Toyota, where
I'll surely be if an emergency occurs. The Toyota is almost a year and
a half old, so it is much more likely to give me problems than my 20
year-old motorcycle. Right?


Anyway, I called AAA and got a very nice young lady who very nicely
informed me my AAA didn't cover my motorcycle. The *only* reason I've
got AAA is because of the motorcycle. The new Toyotas are covered by
the Toyota waranties. At least the young lady was nice enough to call
a tow truck. So, after a $200 tow, I'm home.


I think I blew the u-joint, but haven't taken it apart yet. I'll do so
this week. I'm supposed to go for a ride with brothers thru VT, NH,
and Maine in September. Gotta have the damn bike running by then.

I's say your right about he U-joint, John. the differential-type rear
end is almost impossible to tear up, that is, unless it runs out of
oil. *Been there.


Besides, if the rear gears gae up the ghost it wold have made a bad
whining noise, then had a come apart, but you'd know that from looking
at it from the outside.


But while you have it apart is a good time to check other stuff too..


I didn't see an offer there to come help me fix it!

John H


maybe he'll send you a manual...
~~ Snerk ~~


Speaking of, Don. I DID call and left a messege on his answering
machine to see if he needed a manual, but while I was yacking to his
voice mail he must have been in the garage pulling it apart.

But I offered, but it seems he has the situation well under control.

See what " bad Karma " towards Canadians got you........

I've never met a Canadian I didn't like. While in Germany I often
worked with the Canadian Brigade. Great bunch of folks.

There is one Canadian here who seems to think HK is his leader. He is
the exception.
