Fix it, again...

I am finding out that the reason people park their bikes in the garage and don’t ride them is because they just fixed it. There she sits collecting dust but she is fixed, ready to ride, not costing me a dime. If I rid her I will have to fix her.
So the BMW ride I was looking forward to finally arrived, leaving the parking lot with thirty or so other adventure rides was a great feeling and it was going to be a fun trip down to Zion. We rode down the west side of Utah lake and all was well until I pulled in the clutch and nothing happened. I made it to the first stop and turned back and hoped I could make it back to the shop. I had a pretty good Idea of what was broken and did not want to cause any more damage.
I chose to take my bike to Bavarian Motorcycle Workshop, the techs there are the best in my opinion and they offer the best price for the best service. To give you an example, the job was estimated at $450 and the BMW dealership estimate was $750, same part, same job. As usual Ron completed the work on time and advised me of the progress along the way.
I missed the BMW ride to Zion though.
Prior to the ride and shortly after the Colorado New Mexico ride I noticed that the front fork seals were leaking. I had to replace them so I could go on the BMW ride to Zion that I missed….
