Of the Road 300 miles from home!

Weren't on the high country run this year to a town called Cromwell.

Went down to watch a jet boat marathon start on the lake and bugger me if I lost my throttle. Just snapped. Called the AA.

AA man turns up in 15mins yeap cable broke.

Finally got a tow sorted out to get bike back to home town. Monday or Tuesday. Yeah AA picking up the cost.
 
Heard from the shop today that I had missed diagnosed my broken cable.

Turns out that my throttle tube has broken. And no new ones in the country. Found a used one up north and is on its way to the shop now.

Waited 10 days for the throttle cable to arrive. Hopefully will get bike back before the weekend.
 
If you have heated grips, the plastic throttle tube becomes brittle from the heat and cracks. Happened to me when I was on a test ride on my Classic which resulted in brand new heated grips when I took delivery of the bike.
