Roadside Throttle Cable Fix

thumbnail Ended up at the side of the road the other day, haven't got a full ratter yet. Throttle cable snapped at 50mph in front of an HGV truck. Pulled into a fabricators yard and whipped this beauty up. It includes part of an old plug and a few cable ties.
The difference between this method and the others is you can operate the bike as you normally would. (just put some tape on the end of the grip so it doesn't fly off. Nice way to get out of a jam. Hopefully helps someone out there.
