Snapped Clutch Cable

[Motorhobo]

I pushed my bike about 100 yards to a farmer's yard for safekeeping while I handled the logistics for a recovery operation that took most of the day.

That happened to me recently -- was it not a good place to 'bump' start the bike in 2nd with the start button and battery power? I did it recently, but then again, where I live there's nothing but farmland and no traffic to speak of. I was able to speed match to shift, no problem, got it in and out of all gears and got it home trailer-free. If you had a lot of stop and go, then I guess that's another story...

I tried, but I'm not practiced in no-clutch shifting.  I was out in wide-open farm country when the cable broke, but would have had to bring it back to suburbia with more than a few stop lights and busy intersections along the way.
