On the same day Athena is christened with her new name, her clutch fails. Ah well. My Sporty isn't immortal like Athena. She is steel and rubber and plastic and aluminum; things of the Earth; and things of the Earth will eventually fail.So, along with packing, I need to be wrenching. Three bikes and not a single one runs. Vixen is in 300 pieces. Reb has a blown oil seal (that I will be ordering shortly) and now Athena's clutch fails.
Then there comes the July ride situation. There are two rides coming up in July, one to Ely, Nevada and another one to Salt Lake City, Utah. After the Utah ride, I was planning to spend a few days in Colorado. Not so sure now.
Last week discovered Athena needed a new front tire. OK, there's $150 or so. Now she needs a clutch? Another $150 or so. I would truly like to go to Salt Lake City and then Colorado. Cash is tight. We shall see.

i am in the same boat razor. lots of rides and miles to do, and i keep experiencing set back after set back. its frustrating. i wish i was made of money sometimes... hang in there, you will get things worked out, im sure.
I hear ya on the setback stuff...mine is just money though, not anything to do with my bike.
My bike is still running. I can always come up with the dollar or two to get a couple hundred miles down the road...she runs...it's harder when the bike is the one sucking up the bucks...double whammy...
Good luck to ya...
