Nipping out from work this morning to fill up (92.7p per litre/ about a dollar sixty per litre but that's another story) I hear a rythmic banging, it does not sound metalic, I can see nothing wrong wrong an I am in heavy traffic so I suppose it's someone else. I turn off the busy road and it's still with me I look down at the wheel and can see a cable flapping.
I stop and its the tacho cable, by this time I had spotted the I was doing nil revs. Burn my hand screwing it back, such is life. As it is only a knurled nut I assume it only meant to be hand tight. I pull away and I've still got the bang, strange I think and something flies of the bike in front of me, Oh well I think, if thats a vital part it's the last I've seen of it.
I think the tacho cable must have come out again and I will do it again at the gas station. Just as I pull in to the pumps something else flies off high and to my right.
I stop and the tacho cable is fine. I then do what I should have done before check out the wheel and tyre. There is a lump of goooey sticky tar on the wheel with bits of roadstone in it. I am relieved I assume the roadstone accounted for the UFOs. I kick it off, all is well.
The lesson is that two unrelated small problems in the same area can be a pain in the can and very misleading. The moral is that bad things happen to people who steal the Boss's time to fill up, you have been warned!
