I did some tour last Saturday, parallel to the river Rhine northbound on the French side and return on the German side. Did like the French side better,less cars on the road, better roads.Decided to fuel -up in Switzerland as it is much cheaper than anywhere else (there must be an advantage living close to the borders). I had just entered Switzerland (which is no big thing) when I pulled the clutch, guess you know it.
The clutch cable had snapped. Called the assistance number from the German Automobile Club, they contacted the Swiss Automobile Club and after around 45 minutes max. I had the assistance of a friendly Swiss expert who arrive with a trailer. Repair was no option, so he offered to take me to the nearest Swiss or German Kawasaki repair shop. I opted for the German one in my home town. Arriving there it looked in state of reconstruction so he took me the additional 1.5 kms to my home adress.
How much better it feels when the bike, broken down, sits in MY garage rather than somewhere else. Made my day.
