Post subject:  What I did yesterday
7:00am met a group of other bikers at the Saugus Cafe.

Stopped in Mojave.

Image

Headed up to Kennedy Meadows stopped along the way after a wrong turn near the Blackrock Ranger Station.

Image

Tow bill from Blackrock Ranger Station to Ridgecrest $410.

Image

Rental car from Avis to get home from Ridgecrest $90.

Image

The look on everyones faces when they see what happens when this pothole meets...

Image

This wheel just past the Blackrock Ranger Station, *Priceless*.

Cost of a new wheel and tire approximately $400. Lesson learned, even when riding with a group take it easy and more spacing is good (sheet happens). Thanks to Curtis M for watching over my bike until I can get parts and make it back to Ridgecrest to ride it back

Man, I am glad you are OK. I've ridden my share of two-wheel miles and I know first-hand what road-rash feels like. Good luck getting her back on the road.

Latest news. The local dealer in San Juan Capistrano said in the five depots he checked it was back ordered. Well I called Ron Ayers (online dealer) again today. He said they could get it from the Georgia warehouse (since they are in NC) and that it was in stock there. However I was kinda po'd that when I asked about the front Pirelli Diablo tire he only listed the GTS23 (discontinued). I suggested he call Parts Unlimited and get the part number but I had to do it myself and then call them back with it. Now I will go back up this weekend with a friend and load it in the back of my truck and bring it back since it might be about 2 weeks for the parts. Cost of parts/shipping?

Wheel $291.36
Tire 48.10
Axle bearings 23.38
Axle seals 6.09
Shipping 20.00
---------------------------
Grand Total $388.93

About the $400 I figured.
