my vespa has faild me :-(

I was going for a Saturday ride with my mate Robert today for his 30th birthday around Seaton and then out of the blue my clutch cable broke whiles in 4th gear on my vespa. I managed to make it to Island bay chugging along, at one time I had to ride on the foot part to avoid stopped traffic as if I stopped there was no way of starting again, it was amusing but sad at the same time. I dropped the vespa at a scooter buddies house were it will have to stay till Monday :-( its probably going to be expensive to fix :-( all sad now, Robert and I are now Drowning our sorrows with some Bennett's Beer then off to watch some free moves at Rialto.
