I have just flown to Denver from Asheville to pick up a bike that I bought sight unseen from a ‘master mechanic’ and an Air Marshall. I am a naive idiot, and was taken advantage of, but I just want to focus on where to go from here. I am now in a hotel room, in possession of this bike which I had planned to ride back to North Carolina. Despite rough condition and sketchy maintenance it runs, but the biggest issue is that the throttle is stuck and returns slowly or not at all back to idle (he told me it was a feature that worked like cruise control). I need a mechanic in the area that can help me fix the throttle and give the bike a look to determine if I should attempt a 1,600 mile trip on it. I have the anonymous book, and I may start calling in the morning.
Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated, because I don’t have the skills or tools to attempt to fix this in a hotel parking lot, and I don’t feel confident trying to get across Western Colorado and Kansas on it. My email is rickdm@swbell.net
Thank you.
