Failed Fuse 0 On the Road Brohood 10
View attachment 143511
On the way home from an errand ride, left turn lane and the '76 quits without warning.
Knowing the advance green is a few seconds away, I see the curb is cut down to a vacant lot, so I push it over and out of traffic before light changes.
No horn, no light, dang.
New HD Street Glide pulls off and parks beside me. We chat. First thing I check is the 20 Amp fuse protecting the regulator etc. from the PMA.
Meanwhile the Harley guy is looking puzzled and asked me if it was a '76 why it had a Special exhaust on it. Turns out he was not the usual "I had one of them when I was 21" guys.
Nice chat ensued ( his other bikes are a Shovel and an 850 Norton.)
He was instrumental in the repair as I could not pull the little fuse out of the holder. He had to use his knife for leverage. I had a box of 5 left in the bag from the trip to Arkansas so it was running again in no time.
Just read this over and yes pretty boring, but it's a tale from the road.
