A little hard to turn over when the motor was hot, but It was running fine. Cruising at 70 mph and it just died.

Yes @R3Tex already offered one.

The timing chain is off. I'll pull the cover today, and hopefully it's not too serious.

Amigo,
I am so sorry to hear of this!
1st - because I was looking forward to riding with you again.
2nd - because I know you have much invested.

Dumb question perhaps, but your or their fault on the first blow?
