Default I suck @ life

many of you have been following the progress of my bike. well today, (once it was warm enuf for the bike to start) she turned over, ran, clutch worked, and oil pressure was back. i took her up the street and turned around and came back, just as i pulled the clutch in to idle into the driveway i hear a *snap* *ping ping ping* and the cltuch lever goes limp. WTF. so i take apart the clutch release cover, and i find that the doo-hickey the clutch line connects to bent under pressure. ill have pics up later...

I'd bend it back, if it doesnt work THEN get a new one. No need to pay for a part you might not need, and it doesn't look as if the pull is no where near the bend so i can't see it getting weak over time. Give it a shot.
