Places - San Luis - Custom Choppers : Way southern and middle of no where Colorado is the small town of San Luis where I found San Luis Custom Cycles or Custom Choppers. Gear heads that are into anything with a motor in it and a gathering place for all the locals to gather too. This is Old School and biker centric place as it gets and its just normal to them. These guys know they are on one of the major routes on the way to Red River NM for Memorial rally every year and go out of their way to be open to support any bikers who need help. Well if you know me and my adventures on the Ratt Bike you may have guessed by now what happened. I was having problems the afternoon /evening before with spark and thought i had it solved several times. Memorial day morning, I was heading home running great, did not stop in San Luis for gas for fear it would not start again. well as I rolled on it leaving town it died... for good. Ignition module was marginal i knew and that was the last of it. Another fine mess i got myself into this time. No Verizon cell coverage and 4 hours from home on a holiday. yea. I remembered I saw a bike shop in town back in Oct 2009 when i got gas there. I laughed as i thought, Ya right, what are the odds of the shop being open, on holiday, and having ignition module for a 25 year old HD, Odds on hitting lotto and buying new bike were better. Either way, have to get off street and it's better off in town by shop than out in open. so I figure I push it back into town, I could hang out at gas station and maybe some hot babe on her own bike would be willing to bitch me back on her fender. Hey, ya never know. more likely hang in local bar, get to know locals and spend night camping by river till they open in morning. that is if they were not the types to vacation a week on a holiday weekend like they do in small towns. No Shit, they were open. Turns out the owner, old school biker, knows. hired his nephew to open up on the holiday waiting just for me. or people like me, or someone cause shit happens when on a road trip and he wanted to be there to help knowing he is the only place for 60 miles in any direction in the way of a car mechanic let alone bike shop and bike parts. No new Ignition modules for my year so the kid and I began to dig around the used parts boxes and found an Ignition for me to try. Ignition was not stock, it was a hot rod single fire brand called "Spike", another story on that later. I had my own tools and worked on getting old one out while the Kid pulls out his At&t phone, googles the Spike ign for wiring diagram. Do a rough setting on timing and twisted wires together for quick test and it fired up on the first kick. Well that is good news, now for the bad news. All i got is $60, enough for gas to get home and no credit cards or ATM access. I ask if I could send money or return ignition when in get home? He calls Uncle and says Ok, call when you get home and we work it out. we exchange names and numbers and off I went. Oh, got me a extra tee shirt to start promoting this business. So, do me a favor all of you that read this, when your on Hiway 159 south of Fort Garland, you cant miss San Luis its the only town from there to Questa NM, you find SL Custom choppers shop there on the main road across from one of the two gas stations. Take a few mins to stop in and tell them you heard about how they helped Ripple out on memorial day 2010, buy a tee shirt or better yet order your custom chopper from them. do something to let them know their kindness and knowledge of what it is like to be a biker on the road does not go unnoticed and is appreciated. I decided to keep the Ignition module cause it's what i been needing, single fire, and tunable with roll pins on the rotator. We see how that works soon. I been needing one all winter since I burned out a $300 "Dyna" on last road trip after only 20K miles, so much for name brands. the "Spike" works great already for my motor and without the VOES.
