So , how did the throttle stick on? I've had it happen, but it should not. In the dirtbike it turned out to be damage to the needle jet scratched the needle. Probably track side carb tuning.

Don't you look at my accountant.

Iti shit mate, i dont think it did more couldn't handle it, he is getting a little long in the tooth aye... funny tho same weekend mine did to but with lightening responses and quick thinking clutch in and hard on the kill switch... never found a issue so think the rubber round the grip got caught up.

I stripped the carb-clean as my mind! Not a thing in there that should not have been. I have changed the throttle cable to hopefully make sure this does not happen again. As for being hard on the gear, I am simply doing my bit to support the local economy!
Inspect the needle for scratches midway. If you see any the needle jet is damaged. Caught me out. Damaged a 2nd needle.
Underneath the rubber boot at throttle you should safety wire between the cable end and the adjuster. Stops cable jumping out and getting hung upon edge of adjuster.
At the carb end you could do the same but that end is unlikely to get yanked by anything, as long as there isn't a silly amount of freeplay.
In your mind, program a coping mechanism.
Pull clutch. Ignore screaming engine. Apply brakes carefully. Try kill button when safe.
Replace any degraded parts in throttle.
Non adherence to the last bit ended racing for me.
As did non adherence to the coping mechanism as I shut the throttle and the carb didn't believe me.
When it happened on the dirt a couple of years later I was ready with a plan.

I always wake up with a woody.
I went for an 11km bicycle ride today. January I still had a walker.
I reckon January 25 I'll be down there to show you how it's really done.

Old men and their racing stories! The older you get, the faster you were..... Anyway, Scargill trail ride was mint! Weather was perfect. A good frost to start but course was good. Best views ever! Enduro 1 was a belter-steep down/sidehill into an uphill tree block with thick pine needles. Many struggled with that. Very cool. Enduro 2 was a cnut! Steep uphill into a slippery steep off camber downhill. I high sided going down and used the ribs I previously bruised at Grasmere to break my fall! Then into the mother of hill climbs at which I failed at the 2/3rd mark.... Enduro 3-regulation fun with some serious consequences if you got it wrong. Overall, great day and so much better than that last Scargill ride.
My bucket list (do people still do those?) Is to get back on my dirtbike and travel down there to try some rides before they dissappear as ultimately they likely will.
Ride while you can. Put off house maintenance if there is a ride on.
