Well judging from the phone call tonight, he's somewhere along the Utah/Nevada border.
Sounds like he has a hot start problem. He called cause he stopped for gas and guess what.. The bike wouldn't start. It cranks, battery is doing fine, it's charging when it runs, plugs look good, thhough a little damp from trying to start it, but just won't start this time.
Found out he had already checked into a hotel, has the bike on his charger and I've got a real good feeling the bike will start up in the morning.
So it sounds like our guy is at least headed East finally.
Dang I envy him!
