My latest FU

[sedelen]

So after a horrible extended weekend of doing a fork seal replacement, I take the 750 out Sunday afternoon for a road test. Great ride and thoroughly enjoyed myself.

Tonight I have a look at the bike and what do I see but the speedo cable is detached from the gear drive on the axle.....WTF???? It gets worse.............I go to put it back on when I realise there is no inner cable I lost it somewhere on the ride

Sheit, if it wasn't for bad luck , I'd have no luck at all.

I think I better quit riding while I'm still in one piece.

I think I'm well out front in the running for GSR F-Up of the Year.

Cheers all,

You didn't notice your speedo quit working? Or where it quit working?
I'd retrace your trip, who knows you might find it.

I love this pic as it brought back memories of me hauling a beat up old Kawi 1000 down from northern Ontario with it sitting in the back of a ' 78 Cordova. had some interesting stares from folks as my tailpipe was dragging over bumps in the road.

thank you for that. I laughed my ass off...!!

[Steel Toed Tank]

I had the spare tire (full sized) from the car in the back seat, along with the gas tank, front tire and front forks, a baby seat, and a 5 gallon gas can, along with a 10'x10' blue tarp that I just stuffed in there because I was too cold and wet to fold it up.

The picture was taken the day I got my bike, in the city I picked it up from.
Snow blizzard in late may, lol.

With everything that has happened to me in the last week or so, I think I'm catching up to you.
