So I'll tell you how it ll came down.

Pulled out of Green Bay yesterday, bike felt funny all the way to the Sault, even stopped once to check out strange noises, but could find the cause.

Got on the road this morning and about 5 miles out of town I get crunch, crunch, in the rear end, and pulled over. No doubt as to what was happening now, a bearing was on it's way out, just hoping that it was the roller bearing and not the needle bearing.

Ben and Marca and I headed back to the Sault and stopped at a service station looking to see what could be done. After about 15 minutes I decided to look for a u-haul to get us home when this guy pulls up in a jeep and says,,,,, you all got a problem??? Well we did and thanked him for his concern. He wasn't put off so easy and told us that he had a parts Venture in his garage, so if he could help at all, we would be welcome,,,,, 2 hours later I was back on the road, brand NEW bearing, and all the help I needed.

Thanks to Ben and Dave Howson the local guy.

We then attended the Bush Plane museum much to Ben liking and tomorrow we head home.

Just after supper I get a phone call from Hal, wondering if we need to get picked up, and he was 1.5 hours south of us,,,, wow, what a bunch!!!!!

Now aren't you glad I didn't speech at the IR.

What an uplifting story Carl. A good case of what goes around comes around.

Glad you all got it going. Carl Rhonda and my home town, I am sure we could have found a garage or two....

Now that you mention it,,, I remember,,,, we looked for members in the Sault but came up empty, if I'd thought of it I would have called. Dave Howson has a shop on Bruce Street and happened to have the right bearing on the shelve, or a spare wheel on a bike stuck in a corner, or we still might be there waiting for the bearing shop to open, they were closed Saturday, Sunday was a not likely, and Monday was a holiday.
