The started with us going to Lewiston Idaho. We saw this Harley dude outside
We took a pitstops at coulee dam. Ran on fumes on this tank
Then it happened. My bikes spline shaft self destructed. It's consistent with forum discussions. No real warning, and bam. Side of the road. Yermo tow me 21 miles with buddy tow.
We arrive at best western. No rooms available. Meghan our receptionist, call multiple hotels in the area for us, and got us a single room at econolodge. She even drove me and my luggage there. So awesome.
She told me she would pick me up next morning back to best western, since the dealership is across the road. We booked Sunday night already, since we do not expect to go anywhere.
Sure enough she picked me up in her red pick up on her way to work at 8 ish. Maybe I need to move out to the country and get away from the city slickers.
Now I'm waiting for the shop to open across the road to make some determinations.
Option 1 - ship the bike back (750), fly back (350)
*wont be here to ship the bike if it takes a while
*storage fees and possible extended shipping issues I can't take care of
Option 2 - west side can fix my bike. Ride home
*might take too long, can't get to it for a while
*they aren't BMW specific, may not be good with older tech and the fix can break before I get home.
*pay an extreme premium
We will see what happens. The money part sucks, but I'm quite indifferent about this, I guess that's progress. Hahaha
