Clutch cable

I was happily riding along yesterday not to fast not to slow down the A38 and pulled off at the junction, pulled the clutch in and whops, no clutch. after slow rolling i managed to get it in to 2nd gear then the fun part started. I had to ride 3 mile without stopping at junctions, traffic lights or for oncoming traffic to get to the local garage. had to leave the bike there as they had to order a cable which will be in thursday and it is now costing me £60 for cable and fitting. not bad for 10 mins work. well at least its taking space up in there garage for the next 2 day
