I was riding this evening with a few friends and a cute passenger. All was goin well and we just got onto the interstate. I'd shifted to 3rd, then 4th, and was ready for 5th at slightly faster than highway speeds 
when the clutch lever felt very loose and useless in my hand. The bolt, nut and Bushing had all fallen out!
Not quite sure what to do, I got on the brakes, moved over and coasted while the engine slowed me down. As I got closer to the shoulder, I told my passenger to hang on, it might get interesting. I wasn't sure when the rear would lock up and didn't wanna skid all over or just plain crash, I don't think she quite understood the level of "uh oh" we had goin on.
I eventually just got hard on the brakes and the engine stalled and we stop, pretty abruptly.
I explained what had happened at waited to hear from my buddies that hadn't realized what had happened to me. They called shortly after and then got a trailer to come rescue us.
I'm now in need of the clutch bolt, nut, and Bushing that sits on the hydraulic ram (i guess) the Bushing isn't listed in the fiche tho. Anybody have one laying around I can buy? I've got a message into a local Busa guy, fingers crossed he has the parts to spare.

and it is probably a good thing she didn't realize the uh-oh, sometimes it's better for all to not know. Panic on top of what was already transpiring would have been no bueno!
