That Part Wasn't Supposed to Break

So last night I was tightening a bolt on the Triumph's oil pan when all of a sudden it got... looser. I did a quick mental check (righty-tighty, lefty loosey), and realized something was horribly wrong.


I reached over and pulled a nice sized chunk of metal off the motor. Awesome.


After a minor heart attack, I collected my wits and realized the bit that came off was apparently there just to hold on a small wire bracket keeping a cable out of the way of... I don't know. It's a very well-secured cable.


I'm sure I'll find out why it was there at an inopportune moment.
