Here's my DGRR '15 Happy Zen time, Friday afternoon running the dragon solo...





The ride back home wasn't as happy; had to ride the flatbed of shame for the last 200 miles. Long story short, clutch refused to fully disengage enough to allow shifting. Clutch hydraulics all checked out fine, so I might have a bent release fork, busted pivot ball or possibly a FUBAR'ed clutch or throw out bearing. Will know for sure after I pull the tranny.
