Well....I didn't wreck the bike. I just broke it!
My chain was in need of replacement, but Voodoo(riding buddy of mine) called me and wanted to go riding. So I figured it'd be alright and went riding. We were out in Tiffany Springs(area kinda close to home...) and it decided to go at about 50 MPH. Wrapped itself around my rear axle, wedged itself between the swingarm and the sprocket, and sheared off half of one of the sprocket bolts. The tire locked up and skidded a few feet. I was only doing about 45 and as soon as it snapped I went to the side of the roundabout we were on.
Thanks to Voodoo, Spunkyfl, Voodoo's friend Dan with the truck, and the dick cop that advised me that "You shouldnt park there, a car could hit you". Uhh Officer....my back tire is locked, I can't roll it. "A car might hit you" Yeah thanks...we're loading the bike up now, we're leaving....thanks for stopping by and checking on us.
Was quite interesting. I had to lift the bike by myself while three other guys helped stabilize it to get into the truck. 400 lb bike. I didn't think I'd be able to pick it up. But I managed it. My back just hurts like a bitch though.
Pics will come once Spunkyfl emails em to me....he had his camera on him, I didnt have mine.
B)
Oh yeah. Even through all that, I still managed to keep the bike up. So still haven't wrecked!!
