Waiting for parts

Well here we are in Canon City, Colorado waiting for a fuel pump assembly.  Joe has been dealing with loss of power since we got off of the trail a few days ago.  His bike was beginning to labor more and more at highway speed.  Finally we decided we could go no further.  Our options were few.  Who would have the fuel pump?  Were there any dealers close? No one is open because it is Sunday afternoon.  Would anyone be open tomorrow?  Many motorcycle shops are closed on Monday because they are always open on Saturday.  That way their employees can have a "weekend".
  After thinking about it for a while Doc decided we should call his buddy Scott Shaffer.  Scott owns Morgantown Powersports in Morgantown, WV.  Scott being the great guy that he is decides he will take a pump assembly from a new bike off of the showroom floor!  Can't ask for any better service than that.  Scott had his guys pull the pump then takes it to Fed Ex so we can have it overnight.  All this from a guy that probably wanted to take the day off after crashing hard while racing his motorcycle  on Sunday at Pyramid Valley.
So now everyone is loaded, bikes cleaned a bit, teeth brushed, helmets cleaned, laundry done, etc.  Just drumming our fingers and waiting for a Fed Ex truck to come in to view...........
