Need to check my clutch etc.... goes into neutral when not running, not when running.... never ends!
Be next year now, xmas has brassed me and the flipping dog.... uurrgghhhhh!

That sukks bro. Does the shifter just not move,or it moves as it should just but doesn't come out of 1st or 2nd?
Ya...almost time for Kris Kringle to drain our wallets again. Sorry to here about the dog.They can be expensive but it's hard to say no when the vet asks for money. I've spent thousands in veterinary bills over the years. The bill for one of my Rottweilers once was $5000.oo (blown knee) I paid it.
Keep yer chin up mate...you'll get thru this ruff patch. Shout out if ya need.
Rubb,

Nah it works fine, just no neutral when running. cut the engine and straight in. I suspect the clutch or fluid tbh.
I also need a new selector clamp, seems mines threaded. I found it was loose ( probably me trying too hard to get N ) and the threads gone. I will get there

That's a sad thing to hear....all of my neighbors around me are putting their geriatric dogs down...I can only imagine what they are going through as it is hard enough on a non-dog owner like me who has a pretty solid relationship with all the neighborhood dogs. My across the road neighbors had a couple of Spaniel dogs and each time I'd go talk to him, the dogs would come and lay at my feet.

It's a tough thing when pets are in pain or lacking in their quality of life...

For some reason little kids, cats and dogs love me.

lol, most animals and kids are the same with me, the neighbourhood ones all attack me regually. Its nice to see them happy until the water pistols come out hahaha. Half of them have had a seat on my bike, makes their day.
The dog I dont know what to do with tbh, I love the prick but cant go on at this cost.... just have to hope hes a bit better after this I guess.

It's a tough decision for certain...

We had a cat for 18 yrs and it got so she wasn't able to jump anymore and was forgetting where her litter box was...we put her down and I'll tell ya...it was a pretty sad frickin' day. It was months later and I was still looking for her from time to time....

 

[Bert]

hes not even 2 We wont put him down, if it comes to it the bike will go.

OH, I thought he was an older dog....yep, I hear you there for certain.

 

[Bert]

Badly bred. entire litters the same.

That's a tough thing for sure...it's one thing if they hurt themselves and can mend but genetics are a whole big kettle of fish to deal with.

 

[Bert]

Yes, hey ho, hes a big dog so 10 years usually they live. 8 to go....

I don't doubt that ^ for a second. Yer a good dude.

My bad...
