            all find ourselves, from time to time, without tools. This time it 
            was shortly after we had dropped our model off at the Manx Airport. 
            Riding back to Douglas, we decided to get off the main road, so we 
            turned off onto the Old Castletown Road. And the  throttle cable  snapped 
            on Woody's Norton. After trying to see if we had anything we culd 
            grasp the cable with, I knocked on a farmhouse door, and the lady 
            who appeared was wonderful- and rummaged around till she found 
            a box of nuts and bolts. I asked what kind of business they were running, 
            and she said ASTROLOGY. I was going to ask if they could predict 
            if we'd get the 750 Triton back 
            to Kirk Michael alive, but I realized that'd be a professional 
            question.... So 
            this was the new throttle arrangement, at least for the Isle of Man 
            Course - and I rode with on hand on the bars, and one leaning, kind 
            of angling the bolt against the perch lever , so I could apply throttle.... 
            (the dent in my forehead was an OEM Norton dent... front fender, trying 
            to get the tank off ) |
