The nervous system of a 33 year old bike.

I was very lucky to have a friend come over and give me a second opinion on the area that I believed to be giving me the problem. Though I thought the bike was grounding out my friend instead pointed out that there was an area of the wiring harness that had melted. Of course this is something that I had never ran into before and I'm grateful for an extra pair of eyes. So, a new wiring harness it is. I tracked down a new harness through Mike's XS and hope that I can buy it soon. I'm going to be so happy to have the bike up and running again, but I'm okay with taking my time and doing it the right way. Fingers crossed that I have a few weeks of riding in before this year is over.

In other news...

Many of you know that I am one for getting in the car and just going. Well, I did that and ended up in Austin.  I didn't think about the F1 race that had filled all the hotel rooms within 50 miles of Austin, but I digress. What I did end up doing was seeing the infamous Jimmie Vaughan (Stevie Ray Vaughan's brother) at the equally infamous Continental Club.

Situated roughly in the smaller gallery room with 20 people and there he stood. Being a music nut, especially for  Rockabilly & Blues, I almost had to pinch myself. This is a man that is known across the world for his art and I was standing mere feet away from him. I wanted to tell him how much I appreciated his musical style and that I have been listening to him since I was a little girl, but sometimes a smile and a round of applause is all a artist needs to understand that they are loved by their fans. A night that could have turned into a disaster turned out to be one of the best I had in a long time. I enjoyed a relaxing drive, great music at a venue I've always wanted to check out, and had excellent company that evening (Thanks, Slim!).
