Black Owl Posted June 28, 2013 #1 Posted June 28, 2013 Just got a call from Mikealiasmike. He is broke down in MI near Sault Ste Marie. Sounds like his ignition switch failed. He is having the bike taken to a shop. But if there is anyone in the area that might be able to give him a hand he sure would appreciate it. His number is 1-515-351-1555. Thanks folks.
calperin Posted June 28, 2013 #2 Posted June 28, 2013 Hey, I'm watching who's close and I found that Gary Klop is on Sault Ste Marie. I believe that his phone is 906-647-3232. I'll call Mikealiasmike to let him know.
ragtop69gs Posted June 28, 2013 #3 Posted June 28, 2013 400 miles from me or I'd be glad to extend a hand. Good luck with the repair.

Carbon_One Posted June 29, 2013 #7 Posted June 29, 2013 Hope he gets it fixed. Keeping my eye on this post to see if there's anything I might be able to do from afar. Mike Larry
RedRider Posted June 29, 2013 #8 Posted June 29, 2013 I was just in the UP until Wednesday. Had all the stuff (and instructions) to bypass. Hope he gets it worked out. Keep us up to date.
Mikealiasmike Posted July 2, 2013 #9 Posted July 2, 2013 Thanks for for the concern AND the phone calls of help. Turns out it was a vapor lock. While on side of road I pulled gas line to check just for that and filter had fuel. After getting it towed (That is another story in itself) the mechanic did EXACTLY the same thing I did after he checked for spark and fuel line opened up. Bike was running. Finished trip and am now back home as of last night. I really appreciate the phone calls offering assistance (Drawing a blank of members names but will post it when I get phone charged up) Thanks Russ for getting the ball going. Your a good man (even if you are a dirty old bird)
Black Owl Posted July 2, 2013 Author #10 Posted July 2, 2013 Glad you made it back. Probably could have had a lot more folks offer to come pick you up if your beter half had been with you.... You are bringing her with you to the PIP aren't you????????(Bubber has been asking )
Bubber Posted July 2, 2013 #11 Posted July 2, 2013 Oh sure blame it on me! Mike knows we like her best anyway! Beside she can make Carmel rolls in her sleep. So I've heard.
