Title: For those with open clutches - Beware ugly legs ahead! Post by: printman on July 06, 2008, 06:29:23 AM Had a little situation a couple of days ago. Pulling onto our deck, to put it away.
The front tire slipped out from the wet grass and down she went. I was only at crawling speed. The only damage to the bike is a little scratch on the good side fairing. :( However, the open clutch gave me a good beating, as it was hitting my leg. Felt like a baseball bat smacking it, while I tried to get it turned off. The photos are from today, but it happened on Wednesday night. It was like a softball a hard as a rock that night. Will be fab'n up a new clutch cover now. (http://lh3.ggpht.com/prntman/SHDTOJA6KtI/AAAAAAAAAHk/FqdJmlTWp-w/100_0613.jpg?imgmax=512) Title: Re: For those with open clutches - Beware ugly legs ahead!
