Coachreed, sorry to hear about the accident and the knee damage. Get better soon!!
But as far as needing a helper, I would gladly contribute my services. Note though that I am not a skilled mechanic in anyway. But I am dying to learn and found out what makes these badboys tick. I just got my VX a few weeks ago. So let me know, I am in Topeka, KS. So real close by and love to come your way over a weekend or two. Let me know. Thanks!
