We meet at Joe's Crab Shack and run into a few other members from Memphis. We admire each other's scoots and have a few drinks while we talk about the dependability of a Honda. (I think I remember someone saying, "if Honda ever starts building houses, I'm buying one because what they make is usually very dependable")

So Toasted and I break camp and blast down the big road toward downtown. When we take the off ramp, near the river, Toasted pulls next to me and says, "hey man, my clutch cable broke!" (damn 1300s) :roll:

I tell him to wait till I can get out and block traffic. Then, when I waive at him, he should fire her up, make the turn, and hit the sidewalk. This goes as planned and we soon find that the clutch cable didn't break, but somehow came out of the retainer on the transmission housing :shock: .

Toasted slipped the cable end back in and we were off toward Beale St. again!

Damn Hondas :lol:







And we finally made it!

Johnny I was still laughing. :lol:
Just glad my friend with his Harley wasn't there...I always rag him... :?

Not only did the clutch cable come loose from the transmission, when we hopped off the curb I knocked the paint off the bottom of the possum pusher and dented the front corner of the frame. :evil:

Oh well...life goes on. :D

Well, I think it's the car tire that's at fault here. That's why the cable came off......... :wink:

Just more reason's to condemn the Darkside............twin


ps....toasted, I dented my frame on a extra high curb too trying to get out of the road into a drive way. It sucks, but it still rides good.

Toasted, you really need to upgrade to the 1800, just for the hydraulic clutch. :D

-S
Eh...i keep debating on it for other reasons but the 1300 has been good to me. Plus I kinda like it. :D
