Would that be MPH in Peninsula (or whatever the area is called near State 8)? Doug is a good guy. I'd take it there before a dealer. He and Erik raced together.

As far as Erik fixing your bike? Neither of know if he can or not. Personally, I think he could because he is good with stuff like that is why I keep pushing him and you. But it's like leading the horse to water, you can't make it drink...

Yep thats the place. I forgot that place was even there until I passed it after I went to state 8 to get new plugs.

I think Ive got it narrowed down to some sort of timing issue which is something that I dont plan on messing with so I think this time its going to the dealer. I really appreciate the offer but hopefully once this problem is fixed the only time Ill be heading down there is to go riding with you guys.

We've ruled out everything, except for what's wrong with it.

I think Im going to call them in the morning and see when they can look at it. If its nothing soon Ive already got a reservation to drop it off at the dealer tomorrow night and be looked at friday.

I'd do the Doug thing too, but it sounds like you want to take it to the dealer which surely will cost more. Don't get paralyzed a decision is better than no decision.
