today as its nice thought i would run a few errands on the bike

. Gone about 6 km... something not right, gears seem to have dropped.

carry on for a bit... cannot get first as its below my range of movement, then lose 2nd then 3rd.

Change of direction and go home quick, stall halfway across big junction, make it to other side. get off bike and have a look... OH Shit bolt missing,

whole assembly has moved. not to worry kick it back into place, happen to be about 1km away from Honda shop. drive there carefully

New bolt fitted all ok ;D

Note to self - after removing crash bars make sure replaced bolts are REALLY REALLY tight. ( like man tight )

Don't wait for your ship to come in. Swim out and meet it!
