Thanks!  See the souk...
Re clutch...Diagnosis is difficult without more info. Is the shift lever itself sticky/stiff no matter where it is, or is it just tough to FIND neutral?
This shouldn't be your problem, because it's something new, but you should know:
The 81/82's had the old style shift mechanism. In '82 somewhere during the year they updated to a completely new shift kit. VASTLY improved shifting and finding neutral. Should be still available as a kit, and when you do the rebuild on the box, make sure you get the new bits installed if it doesn't already have them.
RE Rockies - definitely one of the best scenery locations in the world. The riding is actually better just west of the Rockies, in the Kootenays. Some deserted twisty roads with zero traffic, absolutely awesome riding.
Similar riding to Norway, New Zealand (South Island) and Chile, but cheaper than Norway (and warmer!) and better amenities than Chile. NZ is quite similar, but it's a long way to go for most people.
May to October is awesome here. All of British Columbia is a fantastic place to tour, plus lots north all the way to the Yukon or Alaska. And with the Canadian dollar in the toilet, it's cheap for everyone but us!
