[Raf]

You luck man, much damage to the bike?

[aarond]

[dyzio]

Camera worked well!
:D

Unlucky, what camera are you using?

[appollo1]

That's a nice quality picture with the camera..........nightmare about the chain though. How much damage hasd been caused to your bike?

[Specialone]

Bummer :(

[-Ralph-]

You'll be pleased to know that my two year old has decided from the noise that you are riding a black bike, which is definitely not a scooter.

Come on, tell if there was any more damage? Or did you get lucky and spit it straight out the back? AA/RAC job was it?

[Geodude]

You lucky barsteward could have jammed and flug you about abit. Hope there was no damage. :)

[nik_nunez]

Like the camera set up Badge. Always nice when people experiment with stuff like that. :)

Hope the bike's alright...

[anna]

One lucky badger there!!!

Hope it is an easy job for you to fix and not too much damage!

[xXBADGERXx]

Just took off the sprocket cover and the only damage that has been done is that one of the bolts is bent in the plastic sprocket cover .

Had to get AA recovery home and the Badgeress had to bring dinner over to mine instead of me turning up at hers . New Chain and Sprocket came to £114 from B and C Express with delivery for a Tsubaki X ring with JT carbon Steel Sprockets . It`s a Half Hour job to sort Anna :)

[DarrenSV650S]

What was the cause of the snappage anyhow

[fenjer]

Urgh - how annoying. Have to admit this is one of my worst nightmares.

Glad there was no major damage to you or the bike.

Nice quality recording too. :)

Lucky :)

What was the cause of the snappage anyhow

No idea Darren , chain was and has been lubed with a Scottoiler , adjusted correctly , no signs of wear anywhere , not even a year old and the plate sheared directly in the middle and not around the pins . You couldn`t even pull it away from the sprocket very far at all so it wasn`t worn and the sprockets are ploished but not hooked or unevenly worn . I would send it back but I know it would be a waste of postage as they will have a scientific reason for getting out of it like "you took it out of the packet"

[Ed]

It was cos you swore at the Micra;)

[xXBADGERXx]

:D

Unlucky, what camera are you using?

ContourHD 1080 (that video you saw was shot on low definition mode though)

[punyXpress]

xXBADGERXx you xXPARTXx ;)
Just glad there's nowt worse with you & bike.
Yours etc. pX

Today the postman brought to my home a nice shiny set of naff all , that`s a weekend wasted , suppose they will turn up on Monday with my new C/S kit :( <------ Much Glummage

[barwel1992]

close call that :S

ps i want ure helmet ! lol

[xXBADGERXx]

Postman arrived eventually today , the Poor Badgeress had waited in all day after her nightshift . She collected me from work and then scarpered so she could get some kip . I whipped off the front Sprocket and slung the new one on and was getting ready to put the worm actuator mechanism back in when I discovered .............. the damage . It`s only gone and sheared the Clutch push rod , absolutely gutted , ordered a new one from Robinson`s Foundry for £8 ...... but what a pain in the arris this is gonna be with no bike . The Badgeress can`t take me to work every day so I guess the Mountain Bike and train commute will have to start again .

[davepreston]

no rear wheel lockup, no pillon, not 300+ miles from home, not overtaking a caravan with oncoming cars
badger must try harder
in fairness i should have been there to give you a lift back for the pub :)

[xXBADGERXx]

Lend me yer Horse mate :)

[allantheboss]

Hahah! Your reaction was amusing! You were like EH?! (can't imitate amusingly over internet)

Pity for the chain..
