Disaster averted.

Disaster averted.
12 miles into today's ride, the left upper radiator inlet pipe came dislodged from the radiator.
I cut the lower outlet pipe off and used it to splice the two hoses together.
Capped off the crossover pipe with an extra rear brake actuator pin.
Filled up right side radiator with water and finished out a 10 mile ride.
I always carry tools and a few parts.

Yikes! That's pretty crazy. Great ingenuity to get home.

Great thinking and great fix! Better than pushing the thing 10 mi. back to the truck.

I had the right upper radiator inlet crack and leak on mine. Glad I was nearly done riding for the day, I don't like to be shut down. I don't really trust these GG radiators. I've heard of this happening to others.

Time to check the left!
