Fkn disaster for me anyway!
Got as far as Crieff and started having a bit of bother changing down...reached Lochearnhead and bike kept stalling in 1st and 2nd at the T juction. I knew summit was far wrong and pushed bike to a safe bit of road. I then phoned G.C and fk me...he'd broken down at Glencoe with a dodgy chain sprocket.
I phoned my man in Stanley (Dave Roberts
) who was busy but promised to be with me asap. While I was waiting, Robbo and Rev Chuck arrived on the scene and stayed with me for a while. Thanks lads. In the meantime, I'd phoned Grizzly and made him aware of my sitch.
Robbo and Co then headed for the green Welly. A couple of GS's and a GSA all passed me at different times and I was a bit dismayed that none of them stopped, seeing a fellow GSer, parked up in what would seem to me to be an obvious break down position. Cheers anyway whoever you were
2 x guys on Sports bikes did the decent thing...as did a couple of motorists.
Three hours later, Dave Roberts arrived with his trailer, took me to Stanley, dismantled my clutch and diagnosced the problem as being a broken master cylinder seal...
...Dave has kept my bike and will get the necessary part(s) on Monday. Hopefully, nothing major to worry about
I've since spoken to G.C., who also had to retire from today's run and Robbo, Grizzly and Alte Wolf. Thanks for your concerns boys
What a cnt of a day
