Day 32 F@#k Broke down east of Lethbridge Alberta

We were off to a great start this morning heading out of Weyburn at 7 am, riding into dense misty fog on Highway 13 for 370 kilometers before hitting the TransCanada at Gull lake.  It was similar to riding in Montana, fields of gold for miles with rolling dips and climbs.  The fog burned off within an hour making the grey cumulus cloud visible; just when we thought we were going to be riding into them the road would change direction.
We were shooting for Sparwood for the might which was 800 klms, unfortunately just east of Lethbridge Al' s bike stopped running.  We were traveling west on the Crowsnest highway at 120 and it just stopped, good thing for the head sets as he was able to tell me he was pulling over and I was able to stop without hitting him.  Headlights were dim, no signal lights, wouldn't start so we took the seat off, everything seemed tight.
Now what?  Good thing for BCAA they were there within 45 minutes and had us to the shop before closing. Only thing was the shop didn't tell me they had no technicians working on a Saturday and that they were closed Monday.  Go figure it is August!!!!  The only technician there volunteered to come in when the shop opens at 10 am.......must be just a retail store as they don't have in stock a stator or regulator.
Hopefully it is just a lose connection or ground, stay tuned!!Look at the sign in the background, my favourite Corporation was beside where the bike died.  Is it an omen?
