    So you couldn't change gears? Or just the system that you have to display what gear you are in wasn't working anymore?

    It didn't sound or feel like it was changing gears at all and certainly couldn't get into neutral. Had to have the clutch held in to get it on the back of the truck

    Lol nah a 21y/o female instead but my insurance doesn't seem to discriminate against age in the excess, it's just a bit cheaper because I am the insured rider rather then someone else
