Hey GasMan, 9 of us are staying at the Super 8 Sunday night too! Did you want to join Radguy, Radgirl, Lil Rabit, and 11 others heading to SITR for dinner Sunday at the RodeoSteak House Grill near the motel? Let me know so we can give them a head count! See you Sunday, which way are you taking to Coos Bay?
Count me in
So I left Kelowna at 6am this morning heading to SITR and at 11am I am 16 miles outside Ellensburg making incredible time when all of a sudden my Spyder is sideways doing +70 MPH on the I90. I immediately slow to a stop with the engine still running.............shut it off and all of a sudden a pool of oil comes pouring out from underneath. I LOOK BACK UP THE INTERSTATE TO SEE A LINE OF OIL THAT I HAVE DROPPED. Now being Canadian with a cell phone in the US can be quite costly so the cheapskate that I am did not have one on me. After several minutes of trying to flag someone down finally someone stops. I call the BRP Roadside number and am told there is a $200 maximum tow and with the $50 hook up and $3.50 a mile I am lucky to get towed to Ellensburg. I get towed to Ellensburg where I immediately call the nearest dealer /explain my situation and that I am Canadian on a road trip and I am told that I am out of luck and will need to make arrangement to get my bike back to Canada as they would not even have time to look at it for 3 weeks and aparently it would not be covered under warranty as its a Canadian regestered and purchase bike.
So I am now sitting in a hotel waiting for the 5:30am bus to Seattle to then head north to Vancouver and then back east to Kelowna ( A wonderfull 14hours ride)
