Howdy listers,
I was on the Advrider ride down to Creel, Mexico for the Horizons
Unlimited meeting. About
100 miles south of the border, my transmission stuck in 3rd gear.
Luckily, I was almost back
to pavement and made it to the town of Huachinera in Sonora, Mexico
(check out their website
at
www.Huachinera.com). Mike T. aka Lasvegasrider was along and we
pretty much came to
the conclusion I was f**ked. The townspeople are very pro moto tourism
and arranged for
a municipal pickup truck (also used as a police vehicle with a red and
blue lightbar) to take me
back to the border at Agua Prietta/Douglas, AZ. From there, Steve
Phillips of Southwest
Adventure Tours (
www.BajaByMoto.com) picked me up and gave me a ride
from Douglas, AZ
to Tucson, AZ where my truck was stashed. I'd never met Steve before he
picked me up and
he wouldn't take a dime. The helpful people on this trip were awesome.
But back to my bike. I'm ASSuming I'll have to pull everything out and
split the cases. Anyone
have anything else to try before I pull everything out?
