Re:dagnabit P>O>S 05 stranded me 100 mi. from home 3 Years, 10 Months ago

FWIW lemon's come in many shapes, styles and colors. Hoping you won't let this sour your attitude about the bike. I know it's easier said because I'm not in your positions. You have every right to feel pi$$ed about your bikes but if it were me I'd do what I can with what funding I have to try and fix the problems. Somethings are out of my financial reach but it still wouldn't be a cause for torching the bike (yet). Sorry you're having these problems. Hopefully the Clinic and some buddies can get you riding again soon.
