Not quite showing off the bike as showing a roadside/motel parking lot repair at our night stop in Vernal, UT. My riding buddy double-checking to make sure I bolted up the 990's fuel pump correctly after we removed it and spot-cleaned the tea bag filter just good enough to ride back to Steamboat Springs... where I had a new filter kit waiting for me.
Will never know for sure, but I suspect a bad 5 gallons of gas from the Sinclair station in Maybell, Colorado.
