Welcome to this forum, Tom! Whereabouts are you from on the wet side of the Oregon Cascades? I'm from the same side of the Washington Cascades.
7k miles is pretty low for a 17-year-old motorcycle, so there should be many miles left in it. What kinds of problems did you run into that left you stranded by the side of the road? Regarding the lack of dealer support, some of the members here live in Oregon, and they might be able to suggest some reliable indy shops that could help you with the things you aren't able to tackle.
