What a short ride I had yesterday, only rode about 7 miles from the bus, in the desert, when the bike just quit running. Could have been much worse, but I only wound up pushing the bike about a mile, then walking the 6 additional miles back to the bus. Did not have enough water for an adventure, as it started out as a scouting run. But that ended the riding day, and now I am trying to figure out the best place to travel to for resources. Last night I headed west to Salt Lake, as I knew they would have resources, and a BMW service guy or 10 if I needed them. Luckily I stopped in Ft. Bridger for Internet, and realized it was 95+ during the day in Salt Lake – looks like Rock Springs, WY is the destination. I will pull it out there to see if I can troubleshoot the problem, and order parts if I need to.

Did ya put any gas in it before you left? 😉
yep, gas – check!
pull and test ignition switch – check!
ether spray – check!
pull plugs to check spark – with special tool I do not have – FAIL!!!
Hope you find the problem without too much trouble.
If you start posting your spot, I’ll help monitor it for you.
It has already been a lot of trouble 🙁 Thanks for the monitoring offer – I don’t want to die in the desert
We don’t want you to die in the desert either.
Second that not dying in the desert comment. That would not be to my liking.
It’s been a year since you left! Give or take a few days. And I bet you are a changed man. I think you look the best I’ve ever seen you look. And I definitely mostly envy your life.
