Ready to go...

First off.  Thank You.

Cory Hanson:   For untold hours of labour, knowledge and help in getting my bike apart, finding contacts, ordering parts, running around, putting it all back together and just general all round adventure travel buddy help.  Thanks man.

To Jeremy Brown:  We couldn't have done it without you.  You ran around, took time out from work, drove across an international border, and responded to about 50 emails from Cory and me on logistics to get these parts to us in time.  We appreciate it more than you know, and when we get home, there is a Terranova t-shirt on it's way to you.

To Matt from Touratech:  Thanks for keeping up with our adventure and getting the clutch out to us overnight.  Once again, awesome service from Touratech.  Terranova T-shirt on it's way when we get home.

To San Diego BMW:  All parts ordered arrived next day, great communication, and awesome service.    Again.  Thanks.

To Neal and Troy:  For hanging around and helping wherever possible, and just all around travel buddy help.  We are so lucky to have found you guys on the road.  See you tomorrow!

To Jeff @ Blackfoot:  Thanks for the quick response on the clutch questions, and thank Lynn for us as well.  You've always come through for us Jeff.

To Cindy and her husband at our Campground:  For lending us the space, the turkey baster :) and getting us various tools and supplies, it was so far above and beyond our expectations.  Thanks.

And to everyone else who lent us a tool or a hand around camp in the last few days.  Thank you.

My bike is back together with the following repairs:

1.  New Clutch
2.  New front and rear tires
3.  New front brakes

Total cost:  about $1400.  Total time:  About 14 days.



Damage:  1 gouged finger from putting my tire back on the rim.  I actually didn't feel it all that much, but when I looked down at my hand.. I went oh..oh... :)
