I heard so much about riding in Sabine Pass I jump at the chance to go. My friend Tony had a well planed route for all day Saturday and half a day Sunday.
Tony was in the Golden Triangle area working all week so I trailered both of our bikes ( my KLR and his TTR250) to Port Arthur from Arlington Friday after work . We stayed in a motel in Port Arthur Friday night. That morning we switched the trailer from my car to Tony’s van. We were on the road by 8 am to the Sea Rim Park (corrected info Sabine park) where we were going to leave the trailer and van. The weather was cool and foggy. We arrived at the park unloaded the bikes and was ready to ride by 9:00. As we were unloading the van we were attacked by hundreds of mosquitoes. :angryfir:
Couldn’t wait to get on the road just to get away from the nasty blood suckers.
Only one hitch , Tony’s bike wouldn’t start.
We fussed with that thing for what seemed like forever. The longer we were there, the more blood we were losing. We had almost no tools but we kind of determined that the bike was getting no spark. We are hoping it was just a fouled plug. Tony has a friend in Beaumont that has an auto repair shop ( plenty of tools) near the Yamaha dealer . We packed up and headed for Beaumont. We stopped at the bike dealer and picked up a plug and headed to the shop. Once at the shop we pulled the plug. We tested the juice to the plug, no fire. Now we have an electrical problem. After several very frustrating hours we give up and I head back to Arlington.
We are making plans for our next trip to the pass sometime in May.
Bikes loaded and ready to go.
Sea Rim Park
Fixing ?
