Not So Happy Pilgrimage...

So we started off a little late after a few things on Mike's bike. You can see how excited we were to roll

We made great time and had some decent freeway riding got about 106 miles in pretty good time. Then Mike's clutch started acting up so we stopped to take a break, let it cool, and get some gas. We relaxed for about a half hour, saw some guys on the run, and he adjusted his clutch. We then decided to head out and continue with the Pilgrimage but he couldn't shift into second. So we made a stop in a hotel parking lot and he called AAA.

AAA wasn't able to give me a ride and at that time I was exhausted hot and getting eaten alive by bugs so we decided it was cheaper to tow the bike to my house. I then decided to make the trip back home and we would tackle it in the morning and try to meet up with everyone today.

 After tearing into it we found some metal pieces and it looks to be a transmission problem so at this time the pilgrimage has ended, maybe next year.
