Went out for a bimble on the old honda cx500 this evening and whizzing along at about 80 having a grand old time then "ping" the throttle cable snapped.
As Sod's law dictates it decided to snap on a main road, in the middle of nowhere, in the dark just as its starting to piddle down.
Luckily it's got a decent toolkit in the top-box complete with an emergency cable repair kit:) however unluckily the topbox was on my workbench at home as I'd had to remove it to repair the luggage rack and hadn't got around to refitting it :mad:DOH.
so iv just got home having traveled the better part of 8 miles on engine tickover in 2nd gear at about 6mph.
Did I mention the dark,main road and the rain?
funfun. :rolleyes:
