| While driving on a country road the clutch cable failed. where i was rolling and in no traffic, it was not a problem to get to a safe location and stop. had this happened at a busy intersection the bike could have lurched uncontrollably into oncoming traffic. the inability to disengage the clutch is very serious on a motorcycle, much more so than on a car. ## vin passed ## victory cross country tour 2012 ## *tr | |||
