Tynkerbelle, myself and Molly (the puppy) went to ride the tail of the dragon today, we got up to the Deals gap resort at the beginning.
Just when we were about to pull out and ride the actual tail of the dragon, the clutch cable on the 1100 broke. I managed to remove the adjuster and thread enough of the cable back through the handle that I could grip it with a pair of needle nose vise grips and limped it back to Fontana village.
Halfling had made arrangements with a motorcycle shop in Robbinsville and suggested I give them a call, the owner of Mountain Motors said come right on over and he ended up selling me the clutch cable off of his personal bike.
Then Halfling gave me a ride over.
So less than 3 hours after breaking the clutch cable on a 33 year old motorcycle thanks to Halfling and Mountain Motors, I had a replacement part and I am now back at the camp site replacing it.
Tynkerbelle wants to thank everyone who stopped and petted the puppy while she was waiting on me, while I was on my way over to Robbinsville.
Tynkerbelle says Halfling is her hero.
And if you need any work done don’t forget to go to Mountain Motors right in the middle of Robbinsville. http://www.mountainmotorsonline.com
