Clutch Cable breaks

Yesterday, my clutch cable broke. Fortunately it broke with me 100 yards from my parking spot at home. I was able to find the broken end, it snapped at the cable clamp. 

Since I bought new cables 10 days ago, I count myself fortunate. But I left the cables at my friend's barn. The local motorcycle shop did not have a cable I could use, so I drove up to Petaluma to get the cables. By the time I got back, it was too dark to replace the cable.

After work today, I replaced the clutch cable, it was not that difficult, though it was a bit greasy messy. I drove around the parking lot and the clutch seems to be working fine. The real test will be when I drive into work tomorrow.
