Bad luck indeed....I know when that time gets here and your "ON THE CLOCK" everything is magnified 100x over. Makes things just that much worse. Let us know how the second attempt went. I was looking at your IBA rides in your sig and was wondering when you were going to do the BB Gold. I did mine last April, finally got around to sending everything in last month and cant wait for the certificate. FT

It will be at least a couple of weeks before the next run.

After last weekend I decided to go ahead and change my rear tire before another attempt. It was going to be pushing it to make the 1500 miles, especially with rain. I ordered a tire last Friday and it is going to be delivered tomorrow. I already have the rear off and the tire off the wheel waiting to reinstall it.

And I have to get my drivers license replaced after losing it...

Sorry the ride didn't work out. Great story though. lol.

Good luck on your ride when you finally get it happening. I'm also looking at the BBG for this year. Not sure if I'll make it or not. I'm having drive belt issues, and intermittent electrical problems.

The SPOT checker incident should have been a sign.

Here's the part that will bend your brain... Would you have lost your wallet if your wife hadn't said anything about having a bad feeling?
