It's probably my own fault. The battery on my bike died yesterday evening and I had to bump start it. I completely forgot the big hill that I had to get up to get back to the road, and I tried to balance keeping the revs high enough to maintain a spark with fluttering the clutch to get up the hill. The hill was only a few hundred yards long, but when I got to the top, I completely lost power in any gear. My first inclination as that I've burned out my clutch shoes. Has anybody had any experience with that?


You got to learn how to drive with the fear, and there ain't nothing more god damned frightening than driving with a live cougar
