Sorry I missed everyone, but had a terrible friday night, was headed up to Cherokee and the bike died had to load it up in the back off the truck and finally made it up to the cabin about 2am sleep in sat till about 11 got up and called around and couldn't find no one able to fix it. made it to the fair grounds and got the mechanic to look at it and low and behold the stator went bad and then to top it off he told me he had just bought the last one from waynesville that morning and installed in another Dyna so it got to stay on the back of the truck but we manged to make the best of it enjoyed the concerts and took lots of pics
many witch can't be posted here. hopefully will catch up with ya'll at the fall rally at the beach.

I wish you had of called me, eveyone on here has my
number I post it all the time and I'm up there every
weekend also as everyone here knows.

Wheelers in Robbinsville would have fixed you right up
in minutes, so would have Cherokee Cycles and several
other guys I know up there with small independant shops
like mine!

When your riding in these mountains always carry my
Shop/Cell # with you... 704-236-2885. I have helped
hundreds of broke down motorcyclists up there over
the years.

I hope your next trip to the mountains works out better
for you...
Man that's really good info to know... Didn't realize you had a shop!
I'm putting your info in my cell phone right now.

Thanks chuck put the info in phone just now. I did call around called progressive and one other shop can't remember the name but no one had time to look at it sort of expected it being the last min and neither asheville or waynesville had the stator in stock. but at least hd of greenville is going to repair it under warranty they even said they would warranty the regulator i bought last week and put on. Now i just have to get the dent fixed in the tank, broth-in law was going to HELP me out last night to get it off the truck and needless to say while i was putting the ramps on i heard the bike fall over on it's side and i looked up and the dumb-a$$ had released the straps boy talk about being[:@]but guess I'll have to write
it up as one of them weekends I'd like to forget and put behind me. and hope i get the bike back by Friday.[sm=smiley19.gif]

Thanks for posting your number. That's good info. I ride up to Maggie about 4-5 times a year. Always ride NC 215/US 276, or NC 63/209 (trust & luck).
