Minor mishap on way home from work tnite , clutch lever came off in my hand , o shit this could b interesting got 4 junctions to negotiate , am fkt if anything comin can't stop , phewwee had a clear run home , stalled it to stop at house . Luckily I had kept the old one which had the end snapped off when i dropped the bike at work one day , still usable jus an mot fail . Put that one on now so back in action again , have to buy a new 1 b4 mot in June .                                                                                                                                                                              

oooohh Dugald!  well done for gettin home in one piece!                                                                                                                                                                                

Thankfully I was only half a mile from home , jus glad i didn't stall it b4 gettin home , at close to 230kg it's a hefty push , and have got a bit of a hill on approach to my close , that's when it turns into a dead weight .                                                                                                                                                                               

blimey dougal, well done,youve got my no. can always call me out in an emergency if all else fails                                                                                                                                                                             

  Why is the end of a clutch lever an M.O.T test fail if it's missing? The main bit is still there init?     I once had a clutch cable snap on my way home after getting an M. O. T test pass lol                                                                                                                                                                              

Goodness, well done!                                                                                                                                                                              

Glad you got home safely. The proclaimers song sprung to mind....lol  cos if you`d had to push bike it would have felt like 500 miles.....lol.  xx                                                                                                                                                                             

Close call there bud,your experiance served you well                                                                                                                                                                             

It came off in my hand your Honnor Honest!!                                                                                                                                                                             

End of clutch or brake lever broken off is an MOT fail as it is seen to be a sharp edge . My mate broke the end off the clutch lever on his GSX1400 rounded the end off with angle grinder and it passed the MOT .

Cheers JJ helpfull as always .

5000 miles would b more like it

Yes experience certainly helped , don't panic stay focused by far the biggest help , had plenty alternative junctions to choose from should anything have been coming the other way , one thing's for sure i certainly wasn't going to b stopping .

And it was still in my hand when i got home .                                                                                                                                                                               

I hope you are still talking about yr clutch lever!

She who laughs last, has thought of a dirty meaning     You are now a member of a very special club FJ   Skill and timing, the art of anticipation, makes a better rider of all the afflicted Well done mate                                                                                                                                                                               

But why did the lever come off in the first place?   A mean Scot clutching too tightly, perhaps?     *scarpers*
