And, while I'm here, anybody want to hazard a guess as to what this is going to cost me? I won't hear from Jason until Monday or Tuesday and since I can't ride this weekend, I might as well mope all weekend with the cost knowledge as well. Thanks.

Hey RKC. I was just curious in case this happens to me. What did you have to do to move the idle cable over as a throttle cable?

We're starting out from Osceola, Wi and taking the scenic route to Hayward. Not sure of the exact route but our group tends to favor the Rustic Highways of WI. It was a great ride last year but unfortunately we went a week later and the wind had knocked down most of the leaves. It should be much better this year. They were just starting to change in the Chippewa Falls area last weekend.

We're riding up to Savanna Portage State Park on Sunday. DNR reports the colors have peaked. The colors up there were fantastic two years ago. We are also heading up 63 in Wisconsin to Ashland on Saturday.

Lake Minnetonka has the start of some great colors also.
