    Hi guys.
    I tipped of the bonnie like a retard. Just went on a curb and slowly went down. No much shock. Just could not cope with the weight on my left leg. Hahaha. What a moron... The clutch is bent. Everything else seems alright. But i'd rather be sure.

    Check the brakes, weel alignment, gear shift... what would I fail to check as a newrider ?

    Cheers guys.

    Alright the clutch broke right off. Happy that did not happen while riding. I was testing its resilience to pressure. If you know I can buy another one...

    Ouch! Don't worry - we've all done it Sam - I dropped the Tiger not long after I got it whilst at a standstill. Just a broken indicator lens and no one around to see!

    Many years ago I pulled up outside the tech college with all my class mate's watching. Looking really cool I slid on the gravel at the side of the road and drop my bike to full applause.

    All sorted since I am the kind of person who has a Bonneville clutch lever laying around on my hallway floor :).
    In addition we discovered that the clutch cable on Sam's bike was set tighter than a dolphin's arsehole. With that sorted we may well have inadvertently fixed the phantom noises referred to in his other thread.
