Would stink too bad....That burnt tranny oil smell iz nasty!!!.....and I can't even smell anymore but I remember that one!!!!

 

Yep pretty recognizable even at a distance.

 

I had that happen to me on the right rear of a Fiat when I was in Germany. 19 y.o. and dumber than dumb. Was on an Autobahn south of Munich, in the middle of nowhere, when it fused. Tire was smoking and the disc was bright red, to be sure. Beat it with a big hammer until the caliper snapped off. Had to drive through a crazy snowstorm through Munich a couple weeks later to head back home north of Frankfurt. Never did fix it, just drove without brakes for another 6 months, using the transmission and ignition for the brakes. Ah, the stupidity of youth!

 

What ever works.

 

My Suzuki started its life as a street-legal enduro. Once I bought a street bike, I tore everything off that bike that wasn't needed for riding, including the wiring. There are only a handful of wires left now. Its amazing how few wires are actually needed when you eliminate all those encumbering do-dads.

 

It worked at the time, but I wouldn't try that now!
