Day 1 - Stuck in Hope

The weather was a minor hindrance today, but my Street Glide let me down. Same shift lever failure that I experienced on my Route 66 trip in November.

I noticed the problem about 15 miles from Hope, Arkansas. I kept it in 5th gear and coasted off the exit when I picked out a hotel. After coming to a stop and killing the engine, I was able to manually shift to 2nd gear. I then cruised to the HI Express where the check-in desk cancelled my Memphis hotel reservation and set me up with a room for the night.


I called HOG roadside to confirm what my options would be on Monday.
They were extremely helpful and answered all my questions.

We'll see how quickly the dealership deals with the shift lever tomorrow.
