Got the bike to the local H-D dealer this morning for a push rod adjustment. There is a little too much noise coming from the rocker boxes for my liking. Come to find out, there is a flat spot in the rear cylinder intake lifter so they are going to replace the lifters and push rods. I’m going to cross my fingers that they don’t screw something up! I never have that motor worked on at a dealer. Oh well, I do have a back up plan if the bike breaks down so…. all part of the adventure, right?
My nieces, Sara & Missy picked me up at the Harley dealer and we went to Olive Garden for lunch. I hung out with them until we got everyone rounded up from work, school, sitters, etc and then the TWELVE of us went to dinner. I just sat back and smiled as the kids will be kids antics started up. I taught the bartender how to make a good margarita and the liberal application of that wonderful elixir made everything alright. I had a good time with everyone and look forward to our next outing (next year’s ride) and I wish I lived closer so our visits aren’t so far apart. The bike should be ready tomorrow & I’ll be off to Mobile, Alabama.
