So I lent my bike to Robbie (after he killed the starter engine on his car) to grab some things and I got it back permanently stuck in first gear. I don’t think I’ve dropped down to that gear in the whole time I’ve had the bike. The thing is, I don't think he did it, it probably happened when I crashed but I never noticed because I usually bike in fifth gear or higher. Either way this was a conundrum.
Hmmm looks like it might be missing something...
Dad... any ideas...?
I ended up manually changing the gears to fifth and then it worked!!! It's still got a bit of trouble so I will need to address this soon.
In other transportation news, the car search continues! Right now I have found a '91 4runner for 4,200$ but the guy has to replace something in the steering so it wont be ready until feb. The price gives me plenty of room for to add a bullbar and snorkel so this sounds good! In the meantime I need to be able to get to work without bumming rides so I might settle for a '88 Hyundai Excel hatchback for a 1,000$. It's a beater but with some jazzy spray-paint it will be converted into an art car and moving forward is better than rolling backwards right? The thing is, it's very hard to find an automatic here, most people drive a manual and doing that with my left hand while focusing on the different traffic rules may not be the best thing... I'll keep you posted!
