denied.....

Bike is completely dead in an Autozone parking lot.

I got a different story... so they did mess with the fuel assembly a little w/o taking the swing arm off. Needless to say that they didn't replace the oring and now the bike is completely dead.

They are an hour and a half from both Topeka and witchita. And the buell dealerships aren't opened on mondays

Mr Lefty · 05-18-2008, 10:44 PM

FUCK!... that SUCKS! what's their plan now? wonder if there's other motorcycle shops around that might be able to at least help a bit...

better than waiting a day for the buell dealerhship to open doing nothing...

I found them a honda and harley shop about half an hour away that's open tomorrow so they're staying in the little town of Abilene, KS tonight and going to try the autozone in the morning. Then if no luck then drewp's heading to the dealers to try and figure something out.

Mr Lefty · 05-18-2008, 10:57 PM

well shit... I'm pretty sure Autozone isn't gonna help... (they barely know anything about cars... at least in my experience)

well... look on the bright side... should be one hell of a blog entry

I might be able to help get someone home if needed, check your pm's.

ok they got the bike running...ish. Got an o-ring at Napa and then went 100miles to find a Buell dealership. Found the owners home phone and called him. Surprisingly he came in cause they're closed on mondays. So they got the ECM corrected and are heading to CO and just going to find a Buell dealer tomorrow to make sure everything's ok still.

But they did get their bikes blessed at some gas staion

bout damn time

I was thinking the same things on both accounts. Hell, just the relayed story from PC is chaos.
