denied.....


Bike is completely dead in an Autozone parking lot.


I got a different story... so they did mess with the fuel assembly a little w/o taking the swing arm off. Needless to say that they didn't replace the oring and now the bike is completely dead.

They are an hour and a half from both Topeka and witchita. And the buell dealerships aren't opened on mondays

I found them a honda and harley shop about half an hour away that's open tomorrow so they're staying in the little town of Abilene, KS tonight and going to try the autozone in the morning. Then if no luck then drewp's heading to the dealers to try and figure something out.

ok they got the bike running...ish. Got an o-ring at Napa and then went 100miles to find a Buell dealership. Found the owners home phone and called him. Surprisingly he came in cause they're closed on mondays. So they got the ECM corrected and are heading to CO and just going to find a Buell dealer tomorrow to make sure everything's ok still.

But they did get their bikes blessed at some gas staion bout damn time

I was thinking the same things on both accounts. Hell, just the relayed story from PC is chaos.
