Hi all
I recently broke down on my cb250 diesel. When I say broke down heres what happend.
I was on a dual carriageway, changed into 4th and all was well. I then arrived at some traffic lights, and went to change down a gear, and realised my gear lever was missing!
Long story short, the gear lever had fallen off. I went to retrieve it, but it had been ran over and broke into 2 (due to my crap welding)
On the way back in the recovery van, the guy had commented that he had recovered one diesel bike before, a Diesel Tiger! I said, was the guy irish perchance, and he said yes!
Small world eh!
Small world!
