Thanks, that was great video, very well done. It reminded me of a roadside repair many years ago. A good buddy, another friend and I went to the races in Loudon NH from southern Conn. Before the races on Saturday morning after climbing out of the sleeping bags, we went for a ride to explore the countryside. I was riding a Yamaha YDS3 250, my buddy had a 305 Honda Dream. The friend had a Triumph that had been bumped up to 750 cc's. It was an XLCH killer as in fast. As we were cruising along, I was next to him, all of a sudden I heard a loud pop and then a steady pop, pop, pop. We pulled over to discover the left side spark plug had left the cylinder head. We got out tools and reinstalled it. Less than 1/4 mile down the road out it comes again. Now what, no one we know back home has a truck, or trailer or even a vehicle with trailer ball on top of that we were poor starving college kids with little money. So as we are trying to figure out what to do I wandering around on the shoulder of the road. I picked up a tab from a pop top beer can. What if? We cut a strip of aluminum from the tab and wrapped it around the threads on the plug. Got a socket from the tool kit that fit over the insulator but rested on the base of the plug. The friend drove this concoction into the plug hole with a hammer. It hung in there for the rest of the weekend. No banzai runs however. Of all the roadside repairs I have been involved with nothing compared to this one.
