Long story long-found out had a bad rear wheel bearing. Called my dealer this past Saturday-not in stock "might" have them Thursday or Friday the 5th!
The "might" sent a chill down my spine-I wanna leave on the 6th.
I met a guy from Tulsa Ok. a few weeks back with my brother and this guy goes by Theatticrat. I just "happen" to have his # in my phone. So I called him and laid out my sad tale of woe!
He said-Dennis i'll call my dealer ad get back to you. He did and they had the needed bearings in stock!
He went home and put the bearings in his freezer. I roll out of bed yesterday about 0530 and get dressed and I'm at Micky Ds at 0605 eating. I'm in Tulsa around 11 A M and Bob finds me and we go to his place. After a lot of work and a few garage tales old out new in and some coin of the realm changes hands we clean up and go t lunch. Chuy's in Tulsa at 10808E 71st street is a cursed good Mexican restaurant. Debbie-Bobs wife is a very gracious lady and she and the Chiuhuahuas-sp?-welcomed me into their home. Saw 2 bikes of his and the one with the complete 2 Brothers exhaust system and Bobs performance work-SWEET-do NOT begin to describe this one of a few Valkyries Bob owns. He also explained WHAT he does to the heads and pistons along with the WHY. I could not believe how cobby the area above the valve seat on a stock head is. The machine work he has done makes all the difference in performance and as an added bonus-better fuel mileage. How often does performance come with BETTER fuel mileage??? Again-BIG LARGE HUGE shout out to a BRO who helped another bro-ME-save his rip to I-15.
Yet again another reason this board rocks!
Bob my friend-Thanks Again and the next time I'm in Tulsa lunch will be on me again.
If yuse guys missed it there IS a shameless plug for Bobs performance work!
RIDE SAFE.
