WASTED DAY DUE TO THE MIRACLES OF TECHNOLOGY

I know, I know.... earlier in the posts I mentioned how great technology was. Well after a few hours surfing the web at a local cafe in the morning waiting to hear back from the Kawasaki dealership 30 miles away to call and let me know if they can come pick me up.

Ran through the obvious troubleshooting issues to get things working and then I figured out it was the battery in the key fob. The bike has a cool feature where you don't have to put a key in every time. As long as the key fob is in my jacket I can start the bike. Well this time around, something as simple as a watch battery put me out of commission.

Of course watch batteries are not a hot commodity here in the white water rafting center of the US. So this set back allowed me to have a great conversation with one of the partners at Pies and Pints and of course I put down another pie for lunch.

After all the delays and still not sure where I am heading next I decided to make a run for home. Most of the day is wasted and sorry I don't have anything cool to post. I am going to make it to Pittsburgh and should be home Friday late afternoon. Does anyone want to take a crack at the final mileage.
