Default First mechanical issue

So a couple weeks ago we went to see Bubba Blackwell at the dealer I bought my bike at (75 miles from home). We had been there all day and had a great time.

As we were leaving backed up in traffic, I felt my clutch slip. As I went to take off again the clutch lever collapsed in my hand and the bike wouldnt move. We checked what we could with the tools we had but ended up having to have the dealer trailer it back.

After first being told they were closing and it would be 2 weeks before they could look at it, the guys in the shop stepped in and had me pull it in. Somehow the clutch cable just came unhooked inside the transmission cover. So they got me fixed pretty quick.

Buddy just sent me some pictures he snapped off the fun

Sounds like it happened close to the right place at the right time. Glad they got you back on the road quickly.
