While me and the wifey road up around 226 today we stopped for lunch in Little Switzerland. As I got off the bike I see gas spilling on the ground, checked for the leak and found the in-line fuel filter cracked and about to split wide open.
We sit down for lunch and this guys comes to join us and asks whats up with the bike. I tell him we're SOL and not sure what to do for a fix. Together we brainstorm a Mcgyver with a section from a Bic pen as a substitute for the filter.
It got us home.
Here's my new buddie Dave.
