OK...was out of town for New Year's and today was finally the day for the first ride of 2008.
A beautiful 60+ degrees and I hit I26 west to go to Lake Lure and on. But, 27 miles out my clutch cable disengaged from the pivot and there I was by Lake Blalock with minimal tools and only Hardlys passing by, none of whom stopped.
Well, it was my own fault..not having proper tools and having installed Brent's Clutch Dresser Kit the nite before...not too well as it turned out! Mea culpa!
Crouched by the side of SC9, I stayed calm and eventually re-connected the cable.
Off again on willing Kathie to Lake Lure, Chimney Rock, west on US64 to Hendersonville, a race on the I26 slab to Saluda to 176 and then.. the twisties down the Saluda Grade and back to Spartanburg.
The fix worked and the ride was spectacular.
Happy New Year to you all.
