I am calling some buds in AZ to see if they have a chain breaker they can get to you. Basically remove one link and keep rolling.

If the chain is shot the sprocket is probably toast anyway.

I am also looking for some shops nearby.

OK Tim has the info he needs. One of my friends and riding buddy (not to mention former Marine) Works at Cycle Gear Part time.

Just in case, the contact for the Parts/Tools is

2 West Grant Rd

Tucson, AZ 85705

(520) 882-8111 ‎

They know he is on the way.

Ohhh duh. Cause you're in farmland. Chemical fertilizers and mucho nitrogen. Hope the stench helps keep your eyes open.

Well done, Tim! That is quite the aceiement on a single! All these Iron Butt Guys on their big BMWs and GoldWings got nothin on you!

So- now; my buzzkill moment

How much $ out of pocket for this adventure? I'm not even going to ask if it was worth it- entrtainment value alone is worth it (for us)

[Covered in Dust 162]

So Tim I think you're ready for the Iron Butt Rally. I can connect you with my friend Mark, who was the youngest ever to complete the entire rally (10k miles in 10 days). I think he was 24 when he did it. How old are you? Maybe you can beat his record.

Man, really, you are nuts. I've done those all night rides powered by the energy drinks... I never wish to do those again, if I'm honest. 650 miles was my longest day on a single cylinder machine, and that was about 150 too much for me!

congrats on your achievement and adventure.
