A couple weeks ago I think I saw someone post a web address to go to to report a broken doohickey. If I wasn't dreaming this could someone please re-post it for me. I have tried to find it in the archives but after reading a hundred or so posts on doohickeys I am thinking I was dreaming when I saw it. Thanks. Joe A18 SE Ky 11300 broken doohickey repaired.

Mine too... How much did it cost you? My bike ate the spring.... cost over $1000. A couple weeks ago I think I saw someone post a web address to go to to report a broken doohickey.

The expensive part was that I did not know what had happened... My first thought was that I had eaten a valve.... removed the head - nothing. So next thought was the crankshaft... some more taking apart. Once I figured out what had happened I had the engine mostly apart. Also since the spring was in little pieces, I took the engine to a mechanic to see what other damage there may have been. Also, I am going to have the mechanic put it back together (I could do it, but have not done that sort of thing for a long time so...). So my labor cost is high.

Maybe take the nasty rough road south of El Arco instead of the one that comes out near Vizcaino. Stay at San Ignacio? Maybe keep going and hit Mulage? Mileage? Who knows? Mike, You probably already know about this one but just in case, there is a road that cuts off to the south well before El Arco and goes down to Guillermo Prieto and then out to the hwy just north of Vizcaino that isn't on any of the maps. It is a good road and goes within a few miles of Mission Gertrudis which is an interesting visit. It turns south at 28degrees10.42' by 113 degrees 13.08'. This is using the NAD 27 map dictum which is what the Mexico maps use. Kurt Grife [Non-text portions of this message have been removed]
