Worn crankshaft has me grounded

(July 12, 2015) If I wasn't such a rational person, I'd swear my bike is cursed. I mean really, how many different things can go wrong with one motorcyce? I seem to be finding that limit.

June 22 was the last time I got to ride my bike. As I rode to work it began to make an awful sound, emanating from the bottom end of the engine. I managed to ride it back to my garage and since June 23, it's been sitting at Jockeys Cycle in Morrisville. Kevin & co. at Jockeys have diagnosed the problem as an excessively worn or broken crankshaft. As I am short on funds, we're trying to come up with a solution I can afford. It's tough not having a ride in the middle of summer.

As soon as we come up with a plan or a fix, I will write about here.

Keep the shiny side up!
