Rabbits were thick in Florence.Today started with a trip back to the Kawasaki / Yamaha dealer to have my rear brakes replaced. I cannot say enough good things about these folks.

This dealership is at the top of their game and worth special recognition. The service writer and service manager both went out of their way to see that we got back on the road ASAP while juggling an already full schedule. Also, their prices were more than reasonable. You simply could not ask to be treated better. I truly felt they understood what it is like to be on the road with mechanical problems.
That said we still got a late start. It seems like it takes forever to get out of Colorado once you leave the mountains. Eastern Colorado bears a great deal of resemblance with Kansas. I guess if you like ultra flat land, extremely high winds and the smell of cattle feed lots at every turn, you will be right at home. Which explains the reason for the lack of pictures in today’s post.
Two hundred and eighty miles later I started to hear more unknown noises imminating from the chain area. We stopped and adjusted the chain yet again but the noises continue. Neither of us can get a handle on exactly where it’s coming from or what to do about it. Fortunately Garden City has a Suzuki dealer who will get a visit from us the first thing tomorrow morning.

Glad you had a good experience. Isn't fun to have something break, but a smile and good service helps. Hope tomorrow is the last of the repair visits!
ReplyDeleteI have stayed in Garden City a few times. Don't tell the locals you came there on vacation. They process a lot of beef in Garden City. Sorry your having bike problems. But short days in the heat don't hurt anything.
