Throttle is fixed, the bar was bent and the throttle was rubbing against the housing. We wound up just using a 4 foot pole over the bar to muscle it back.

It was maybe 30mph, and he was almost already to the ground. the funnyness is that when you look at his knee pucks he touched going the right way, then scraped upwards, and there is a very definitve transition between

Yup, bike passed tech with no major problems, throttle stuck again, and we were able to trace the problem back to the linkage, it turns out the fuel filter broke off its mount and was sitting against the throttle linkage, I re routed it and added some zip ties and all is well. After we dropped the bikes off we went over and met tommy and karen for dinner at a steakhouse then scooted back home for the night

I found a twfix sticker in my tool box, so I took the liberty of applying it to his windscreen, and I added his new race number, 900001
