well I suppose we'll go good news first... today's my birthday, hooray for me...

Now the bad news. I was riding home from class today, stopped at a gas station to put 5 bucks in my tank, went to take off, clutch cable snapped. POOOOOP. so yeah, bike rendered useless till i get a new one. no fun

 

well happy birthday hoss !

thats a hell of a bday present how does a clutch cable just up and snap? was it too tight?

 

Happy Birthday, fellow Taurus!! My b-day was yesterday...

Sorry to hear about the cable, should be fixed soon, right?

 

Ride it without the clutch

 

Yeah you big dummy... Clutchless FTW in emergencies

Snag the pebble from my hand Grasshopper

 

good thing you werent going fast! good luck with the repair.

 

Okay here is the deal... push start the bike like the ol GP's for the initial launch, jump on like a trick horse rider, then simply time your lights and turns correctly until you can get to a safe place(home, friends house). Shifting while moving doesn't require a clutch in a sequential gearbox. It will actually help you become a better rider by being hyper sensitive to timing, something that is sorely lacking in the new generation of riders for the most part.

Here ya go
1 start bike
2 get along side and run with it until you get moving
3 jump on and pop it into first or second
4 time your lights and stops by riding IN CONTROL so you don't have to come to a complete stop...
5 If you have to come to a stop, calmly pull towards the side of the road and slip it into neutral before stopping and re-initiate from operation #2 onward

literally LOL... i know a lot of people say that without laughing, but seriously that was good for a chuckle.

it was ok, i just had my stepdad pick me up and we shoved my bike in the back of his avalanche... wasn't no thang

and yeah should be fixed in a timely fashion, just gotta order the new cable from the dealer and then swapping it out is a snap

 

p.s. thanks everybody for the birthday wishes... aside from the cable incident, it was indeed a happy birthday

I said shoved didn't I? haha. Yeah it barely fit... we had to put it in on an angle, turn the front wheel to the side and bungee the tailgate halfway shut... but it fit!

So you are telling me there are actually people out there who use the clutch other than coming off the line or reeling in the power a little bit?
