Good tool to have along on motorcycle

So you’re out on a nice ride, not a care in the world. Oooops, your bike falls down for some reason. Your foot slipped on some gravel, you forgot to put the kickstand down when you pulled up in front of the gas pump…… you get the picture. And surprise, your shift lever broke off!!  How are you gonna get your bike home without be able to shift gears? Well here is a great solution I read about a while ago. I cannot take credit for this idea, but I think it is so good, I went out myself and bought these mini-vicegrips to keep in my bike bag. Theoretically, you just clamp them on the broken stub of your shift lever, and you will be able to use it to shift enough to get home. And they also claimed that if your clutch or brake hand lever is broken off, clamping on the vice-grips will allow them to be used also. wow! Sounds good to me. Although I have not yet gotten to test this theory, (and I hope I never have to!!) I just wanted to pass along this idea to you…      by Sly
