11 AM on July 10th

Our day of departure and here we set in Brown BMW in Pomona!

After riding 30 miles this AM - Mark's 2005 GS (which I (Steve) sold him) took a dive on us. It died on the 15 North just south of the 60 Freeway at 7:00 AM.

We called AAA and they had us picked up by 7:45 and on our way to Brown BMW. I called Brown at 8 AM when they opened and their team was waiting for our arrival and they got right on the bike. Ultimately they determined that the electronic control module for the fuel pump was defective (corroded) and had to replaced - but alas - they didn't have one in stock.

Sooo. . . . Bob Brown (Dealership owner) hopped on a police bike and rode to Seaver BMW in Orange to get our part for us. We are anxiously awaiting it's return and hopefully getting us back on the road ASAP!

Brown's has been very helpful in a bad situation and we appreciate it!

The only good thing about this mechanical is that this happened here as opposed to 2-3 hours later when we would have been in Lone Pine or God forbid - in the Arctic Circle 2 weeks from now!

Thanks Bob Brown and Brown's BMW.

Steve
