Don't cremp my style.......................

Monday ended on quite the strange note - AGAIN!! I was going to meet with a long time friend - Dr. G. my dentist & friend in NJ for about 17 years - when Big Bertha died on me again - this time going up a hill. I drove onto the shoulder & backed the bike down the hill to safety. I tried to start her & nothing. I switched the fuel to reserve & she fired right up. I knew something was wrong - I couldn't be out of gas at 55 miles. I know Valks are pretty tough on gas..........but not that BAD!!

I called the shop that had repaired Big B. on Saturday - they got in early on Tuesday to get the problem solved - and they did. The fuel line had gotten cremped when the gas tank was put back on & was cutting off the fuel to the motor.

I am now in the Big Apple...........Big Bertha & I spent most of the afternoon dodging, pot holes, buses, yellow cabs & trying to find a parking garage that will take motorcycles!

Before I sign off - I have been touched by some wonderful angels - Joan & Rich Gargiulo of New Provendence, NJ! They took me in - fed me for several days & as I was leaving this morning they handed me a unexpected Posey Foundation donation to help get me though this journey!
Thank you......................

Looks like rain is in our path - heading up into the New England States......OH Well - we have been wet before.............

Until next time - God Bless, DJ & Big Bertha
