Spewing.

**saltydog** · 21st May 2009, 20:32

Pulled the bike out of the garage. Side stand down warmed her up on a bit of choke went back into the rarge to put on helmet. Just like always, then,
THUD.......
Then slience
Broken clutch lever, bent footpeg, scratched mirror, tail section resembles a cheese grated piece of do-do, Side cover gouged, swing arm bobbins cheese, bar-end mashed.
And spewing.
The rules of engagment have now changed. Its never happening again.
Never.

I've never heard that one before....... The no-speeder! classic.
New parts got ordered this avo.
I'd just had all the farings off to replace the cooling fan behind the radiator and cleaned, lubed and adjusted cables, replaced coolent etc etc
After snapping the end of the clutch lever with a huge monkey wrench i still went for a ride though!
