I went to the shops on mine, and on the way back it spat its chain at the car behind me, I was so surprised I just about fell off, had to join the bypass traffic with no power then pull onto the hard shoulder. Just went back with another chain, stand and tools and swapped it over and brought it home. Sometimes I do not love my bike. But then, it was punishing me for not buying it a nice shiny new chain sooner.

Wow, I thought chain failure was total crankcase destruction and probable grisly death! Nice to hear it's no drama for the experts

Me and the wife went to East Kilbride for a cup of tea, something we'd never do in the car - we love our bikes too

Can do, but it shot clean out the back- that's more common I think. Still quite lucky to have no real damage though, just my lovely chain guard

Faster! Bigger! MORE!!

She's loving it but I'm working away at the moment so she's not getting out as often as she'd like. Also she's kind of short of somebody to play with while I am home watching the kids.

She's gagging to move up though, to something like a CBR600F or a Ducati 620 or an ER5...

Sometimes in life you can have to much choice.

well if she wants to go out anytime, give me a shout, as long as its weekend (too much running around to do during the week)

skyblue asked me to go up wibbly wobbly tonight and I had to decline as I have the cold and dont feel well

She's got a login, tell her to post a midweek rideout!
