We were departing for our ride to New Orleans yesterday and the throttle on the Girly Bike stuck WFO twice in the 1st 50 yards of operation. I did the walk of shame and pushed it back to Mark's shop. We switched to the Manly H2 Triples and completed our ride and had a great time!
Upon our return we investigated and discovered the culprit. The assembly was swapped and Iron did a perfect repair on the top cable sheath and cap that hooks to the junction. :clap: :clap: :D :D
Beer was drank, shite was talked and the Girly Bike was fixed

Dah fuh lik yuh for riding girly bikes, stick to the manly bikes and you won't have any problems. Mind you, you should be riding girlies, especially after assuming the position on the training stump. :mrgreen: :lol:

Why yes, I believe she did... :lol: :lol:
The Girly Bike is down for a mysterious electrical ailment. Iron and I worked on it most of the day yesterday (thanks again Mark). It may be paying a visit to Dr.Haase en-route to VA.More to follow.
