Parked it on an uneven pitch to lock my shed up and plop, there she went. No biggie, except my front brake lever came out looking like a hook. Tried to bend it back and ended up breaking it into 3 pieces, lol. New lever ordered, installed, no problem. EXCEPT.....
I can’t get the old RLET off of the broken lever. If it was intact, it’d be possible, but it’s just the tip so nothing to grab onto. So my CB is lobsided. Is it safe to ride until my replacement RLET comes in? Am I disrupting the overall balance of the bike by riding 1/2 naked? Have I completely disrupted the chakras to an unsafe level? Will God himself smite me in the middle of the road???
Or....you might consider this to be a sign that it's time to wean yourself off of the RLET drug. I'm fortunate that I never partook. Seems to me that RLETs are the gateway drug. Nosirry Bob. I'm not even taking a puff of RLET. I'm not getting hooked on that stuff.
