first day first day was eventful. We had a great spirited ride over Mount Rainier and Chinook Pass. After lunch in Yakima we headed out for Lewiston Idaho. I had a little mishap pulling out from a stop like a previous thread we just had,
@dealer was in front of me and started to pull out making a right turn at a busy intersection. once I saw him start to pull away I started to pull out while looking left for traffic. Unbeknownst to me Dealer killed his bike and fell over and I ran into his rear tire. Bent my right crash bar and broke a mount at the left bottom of the radiator.
Some water had squirted out of the puke tank so we added water straighten things out best we could and took off. 50 miles later my bike is overheated and I had to pull over on the side of a busy highway. Rob and I sat there roasting in the Sun at over a hundred degrees figuring things out when a truck pulled up with a Harley Rider and his wife who offered to help. Dave drove back to his home, loaded up his trailer, came back and hauled me into Richland Washington where I got a motel.

@Claviger took the radiator apart and we discovered that mount had pulled loose leaving to 8 inch holes in the bottom of the radiator. Online Rob found several others that had used J-B Weld so we gave it a try and here we are 6:30 in the morning putting things back together. We should be on the road in the next 30 minutes wish me luck that the fix holds up. More later . . .
