On the way home from West Coast Cruise SLO 2014, throttle cable broke at the throttle linkage. Walked around and found a shoestring on side of road. Voila, McGuyvered throttle cable repair that lasted for remaining 200 miles home.
Well I was thinking isn't that the father of drive by wire.
Actually that is really the Musbjim method of keeping it simple... but on a shoestring budget
