I've never snapped a chain in my life

I went out for a ride last night, and my fuggin chain snapped.

I normally keep my chain healthily lubed and checked it at the weekend and seemed fine. I've never snapped a motorcycle chain in my life...




















AND I ENT CHANGING THAT JUST YET!

Felt it over tensing at one point. Shifted it into a lowish gear and tried to pop a wheelie I think mid change and CRAAACK. 'Whoops, chains come off'. No fatboy, you've snapped it! Grr

On the plus side, I got 10.5 miles done in 1 hour and 5 mins, which isn't bad for a 19 stone porker.

Walked the last two miles back. Reckon it worked the bacon roll off in the morning

I thoroughly enjoyed myself too, when I had my bike, if I wanted a 10 minute hoon I'd use the same route so was nice to take in the scenery.

You need to get yourself these and this

See above Stew

Not got a bike at the moment, still want to get out and about and see countryside and scenery, what better way to do it, in the process I will get fit too, hopefully

I can vouch for the Sram Powerlinks , buy yerself a couple as they are always handy . I have a Crank Brothers Multi 19 tool in my kit and it has a breaker and rivetter on that , it has taken about 5 years of abuse and still works nicely .
