The Gremlins come to visit

Well, it has been an exciting couple of days...Kelvin had taken his RoadKing to the Harley dealer for a little "tweaking" before the trip...AND THAT's WHEN THE YOU KNOW WHAT HIT THE FAN!!! They put his bike on the dyno to tune it and something overheated and shorted out his entire electrical system...he lost lights, alarm, cruise control, speedo, etc. They spent the entire day rebuilding the system so it would run, Kelvin finally got back home at about 11 pm only to find that he had stud broken off which holds the exhaust and also an oil leak from the head gasket...DOES IT EVER END? We were debating on cancelling the entire trip but Kelvin got his second wind (while he listened to the soundtrack from Rocky LOL) and got the broken bolt extracted and replaced and today he torn down the engine and replaced the head gasket...and I can't even change the oil (He's my Idol). So now we are back on track, he is heading here in the AM and should arrive by dinner. We will depart now for Maine on Saturday, so we are only a day behind schedule....stay tuned, looks like an interesting trip coming.
