Default Just how bad an idea is it...

To ride about on a shock with no gas/oil in it? My Ohlins popped on the way home, not yet found out exactly where though I'm assuming it's a seal on the hose going by where the mess is... Quite interesting to suddenly go from a finely suspended scalpel to a 170kg pogo stick at speed!

So... if I can find my standard shock I could fire that in tonight, but I'm none too sure where it is. Or, I've got a Busa shock somewhere but I'd need to do some cutting on the battery box to fit it, which is a bit futile for a temporary measure. Or, Scooby Drew's 636 shock is in the garage, I could steal that and not tell him...

OR, I could just not bother til the weekend, and pogo to work tomorrow. So, how stupid would that be? It was safe enough for the few miles home, taking it nice and slow...
