    Help. Lootch stuck in Limehouse Link Tunnel

    On my way to work this morning spotted Lootch standing next to his bike in the Limehouse Link tunnel. Stopped and he was awaiting recovery from the tunnel people.

    His Africa Twin clutch cable snapped, anybody know where he can get one in or around London city today?

    Thanks

    The recovery van is already on its way to him so will bring him to mine and we can fix it here. probably warmer and easier than by the side of the road anyway.

    Bloody RAC have let him down and he is still there. They are now saying another half an hour. I could have been there and changed the cable by now but they said they were almost to him when he checked an hour ago.

    He's going to be frozen by the time they pick him up.

    Thanks alot for your help Chris!! It is not the first time I have stopped next to the road to see Lootch standing

    It just goes back to the old idea of having a spare cluch and throttle cable tied to the existing setup as you might need it someday

    Thank God I'm old fashioned, I always carry a spare clutch and throttle cable with me at all times. Hope Lootch has been rescued already, at least over here it's not so cold, if you do have a breakdown.

    12.15 and he's still not here. I spoke to him more than two hours ago and could have been with him in half an hour.
