If you haven't been following local rider Dean Mangiatini on his Trans America Trail attempt check it out here:

He's had two major issues with the bike. He had a major wiring harness meltdown and now his clutch is out and he's waiting for parts in Baker, NV.

Hello Jay
Thanks for sharing the story with the group. Quite the adventure! Got to give him plenty of respect/credit for taking the challenge?!

He swapped out the clutch and after a test ride should be back on the trail once more.

Yeah, I've been following since the start.
Fun stuff!

Except I don't think I'd do well with the heat.

Dean finished the TAT and arrived in Port Orford this afternoon. Should be home in a couple of days.
