Where the feck did that go!

Can I put my foot in your hole?

Thanks but I already suffer from foot 'n' mouth disease.

No other option but to let it dangle

Just remember the angle of the dangle is inversely proportional to the heat of the meat, provided that the maxis of the axis, and the gravity of the cavity, remain constant.

I cruised out of town and parked at the bottom of the hill for a quick wander and found nuffink... most likely wallowing in the sewer system somewhere. Hey ho... although I'm glad I didn't find it as when I returned to the Prila I noticed that the brake pedal, which seemed pretty secure, had fallen off too ... awesome. As I was fooked from walkin the hill I figured I'd try the foot peg on the way home and although not comfy, certainly better than nothing at all... all was going well until it came to getting back on SH1... a nice fulla in a beemer let me into the traffic and as I swing my leg up to find the peg, I kicked the peg back into place . Good thing she has fat mounting there as I hooked the edge of my heel onto it and toasted my leg somewhat on the way home. Upshot being that I've got to figure out how to refit the old rear brake system... hmmmmm, I'm sure the bits are in a box somewhere in the garage.

Vice-grips will do the trick although it won't do your paintwork any good.

It's good to hear you got home safely though Masho.

Was yours and my bike made in the same factory ??

I remember going up the Ngauranga Gorge in peak hour traffic once.....
Just before I was about to change lane, I changed down a gear from 6th to 5th, missed the gear and as it got stuck in between the gears, the frecking gear lever came loose and all but fell off.............I managed to just keep it on with my foot.
So I had lots of revs, no drive forward and going uphill in the outside lane while trying to cut across 2 lanes to the footpath......now THAT is scary shite !!
Luckily some cars (must have been bike owners) saw my plight and slowed down so I could coast to the footpath.

The Guzzi has no slot in the gear spline like Jap bikes do, so if the bolt comes loose it just slides off !!

I managed to get it into 3rd gear on the footpath and took off with a bit of judicious clutch slip....

Sorry to hijack your thread, just was a good story to remember.

[unstuck]

Just weld the fuckers back on, I mean it's not a valuable machine like a Honda or anything.

[oneofsix]

Glad you made it home mashman, an exciting day
Both your and nudemetalz stories make timely reminders to check all fittings and fixtures this weekend. WOF or no.

[sgtp]

haha, same thing happened to me months back, one of the bolts on the left peg fell out and the second was loose by the time I looked down and noticed the prob at a red light. Luckily, the bolt that fell completely out lay safley in a grove and I was able to do a pro-newb roadside fix

heh, I bloody hope not as that's the first falling off issue I've had... me don't want no more if your story is anything to go by... losing a peg, then lever was bad enough... I thought thread hijacking was par for the course and generally ignored bar those who are sensitive? you almost hurt my feeling
