Re: Craziest thing you've done to "just get home"

Bought my truck about 2 weeks ago in Tennessee. Rode my V-rod up there to buy it. Loaded it up, strapped it down, and headed home. Made it about 30 miles, stopped to fill up with gas...and the dang thing wouldn't crank back. The battery had a dead cell. Closest place with a battery charged me $105 for a BS battery, but I was back in business. Went about another 15 miles and POOF, the brakes went out. I ended up driving it home with no brakes, and an altenator that wasn't keeping up with the demand. I made it home, but after pulling the drums off, and inspecting the suspension closer... I can't believe I'm still alive after 200+ miles with that bike in the bed.

Pic's to explain my reasoning for a belief in a higher power!
