The Fuzz's Excellent Motorcycle Adventure 7

Back to "The Fuzz's Excellent Motorcycle Adventure"

After a short wait, The Fuzz's Motorhead Daughter and Husband arrived.  And after a delicious dinner, (and a few "shots") it was time to hit the sack for a much needed rest.
The Fuzz had a nice breakfast of ham & egg on a bagel, and hug loose for a while.
He took the opportunity to add a bit more to his Trip Journal.
His mechanically minded Daughter hinted around at taking a look at his bike problems.  So he got out the shop manual, which he just happened to have brought with him.  Even when traveling light, it doesn't hurt to be prepared.
Here he found his problem described exactly.
Could it be possible that this could all be straitened out without ordering parts from the distant Orient?
It looked like there might be a chance, if it really was merely a matter of bleeding the clutch line.
It was worth a try.
So it was off to the Auto Parts Store (they even have them in Maryland!) for the needed supplies.
And in short order, the job was finished!
And now due to some idiocy in Washington, (The Fuzz has a policy of not bringing up politics on this blog) it seemed that another family member had been laid off for the time being.  And since Northern Virginia was on the way back to Charlottesville, plans were made for another extention to The Fuzz's itinerary.

In the morning, he would be back on the road.
