and my clutch cable snapped sunday morning.

In the parking lot, during the pre-ride check.

Before the ride

and the rain

and the wind

and the thunder

and the lightning

and the 15 miles of slogging down country roads hoping someone would stop (without having run over me first!)

so  I think they show me favor,

by letting the cable snap BEFOR the ride.

Thank you bike gods, everywhere !

Good to hear of your "fortune".

Indeed this is a good universe to live in.

All the others I've lived in previously cannot compare. 

I'll trade you my universe for your universe straight up.   

At least it starts and runs.Mine is having it's monthly cycle and won't run right.  I wonder if that's the reason a lot of people call the GS a Buddha Loves You bike?

LOL !

Mines' been pretty good to me lately. After he telling me her clutch cable was tired, I figured I'd give her a rest till the move is over. Then I'll spend some quality time with her, you know, lots of talking, light touching, quality lubricants... oh god man, this is horrible ! I"m gonna BEAT THAT NEW CABLE IN !

Ya, that'll teach her

Did you have a spare cable on hand?

If not, I hope the bike gods continue smiling and do not decide the new cable will take 2 weeks to arrive  

Either way, much better than being caught on the road!!!
