I'm bummed out!

Thanks for the advice, John! :thumbup:
I'll just use it to keep "prying-eyes" away from it overnight...:shocked:

It's not actually the brakes; it's the little $32 microswitch that handles the brakelights...
Mine came apart... leaving the brakelights on!
We all know what Nanny thinks about brakelights being on...:lecturef_smilie:
So in imy infinite wisdom; I pulled the connecting rod from the pedal to the bellcrank and shut them off...
Leaving me with absolutely no brakes whatsoever
Now it gets really interesting... and almost funny! (ALMOST!)
I borrow a trailer, and park it and the truck that's anchoring it, down in my yard so as to reduce the ramp angle and give a bit of a downhill path...
I roll the bike out of the garage
I start it up so as to make for easier maneuveing and lining-up...
In gear; the bike is "creeping"faster than my comfort zone can assimilate... :shocked:
I shut it off...
IN GEAR!!
How do you start a bike that's in first gear?
you press on the brakes...
Which are completely disconnected! :yikes:
So now I'm left with pushing an unconscious elephant up a ramp! :gaah:

Now that's funny!

I think it's time for you to trade that baby in and get that RTS being sold for $18K, Bob.

Sorry you're without ryding. I'll think of you while I'm on the road to MV!

Our thoughts go with you. Hoping you get the issue solved asap. :thumbup:

 

[Bob Denman]

Now that's funny!

Well... yeah; it is!

But just not when you're suffering through it! :shocked:
