I had too use my AAA card to get my bike fixed today after It took a sh** at an itersection today.


Throttle cable broke so I had to bungie cord my carb throttle and operate it with my right hand( suicide throttle) to get to the service staion a hundred yard down the way. Then I borrowed a t25 wire cutters and manage to replace my broke cable with the Idle cable that i kept in my bag for this occasion. sthe cable is slightly too long so I had to cut my AAA cards corner off to use as a makeshift stop for the throttle grip and clamped it in the turn signal housing so it doesnt allow the grip to roll all the way forward and loosen the cable. works great and was still able to make it to work on time. The guy at the service staion was a big help by getting me the tools couldnt thank him enough. Now I can saw that I got my moneys worth with my AAA membership. out alittle)

 

Very creative!!!!!!

 

there is some good old fashion american ingenuity (i think that is how you spell it)

 

That's thinking on your feet. I'd have used mine to call them for a flat bed tow truck! lol

 

Your story reminded me of "mcgiever" I think I spelled it right

 

Damn yuppies

 

I broke a throttle cable on my Ironhead 300 miles from home one day... I rode 50 miles with my hand on the carb. until I found a hardware store and made a makeshift throttle cable out of a bicycle brake cable

 

I had it happen before and had to use a shoestring tied to both the carb and my wrist. i guess i need to findbetter stonger cabes

 

You ain't no yuppie A yuppie would of just called AAA.

 

Yep that ain't no yuppie ****, Ain't noway a rub would of figured that out, .......you da man, and that is what it is all about here. storys like that!! I remember one time I busted a clutch cable and found a stick from the side of the rode to wrap the cable around, aka sucide clutch[8D].....................f,,,it, it work.................
