I can play what-ifs all day long. At some point, you have to quit worrying about what will happen and get out there and do it.

To answer your question, if a coil goes out, I'll deal with it when the time comes. Anything can happen. If I worried about what-if, I would never leave home.

Honestly, considering that I will be riding 900 miles of *this* (see pic below) north of Fairbanks, Alaska where there are practically *no* services, a coil going out is the least of my worries. I'm on my own up there.
