I just wanna remind y'all to ALWAYS double check your mechanics work. Hell, double check YOUR work too.
I had my wheels powder coated by a local guy. Good dude, works mostly with cruisers but figured what the hell. Anyway, I got my bike back and trailered it home and parked it for the winter. Got her out and drove to work, no issues. On the way home this truck behind me started flashing his lights, blowing his horn, got next to me screaming at me to pull over so I did what any logical dude would do and I waved, blew him a kiss and removed myself from that situation.
Once I got home I noticed my chain was laying flat out on my swingarm... Turns out my axle block and axle nut were gone on my brake side and the axle was backed out about half an inch... I'm assuming they came off and smacked ole boys truck and that's why he was acting a damn fool.
Anyway, I still have a pit in my stomach thinking about how this situation could have ended. Think I'm gonna drill an pin my axle.
