Laid Bike Down a few Hours ago

[MC MUSTANG]

Mick -
Man, I'm glad you're okay. Wow. Great job keeping her up, I hope you get her back and in riding condition soon!

[PDBusa]

Glad to hear it wasn't worse. Take care of your back. You can always fix the Busa, but the back will take longer to heal right. Give it time.

[A'Busa'd]

Sorry to hear about this one. At least you didn't lay it down. You bike looks good, BTW.

To clarify I guess I should have opened it better then the headlines....I didnt lay it down.....how I kept it up not sure except I believe some angel was placed here with me this morning.....

As for as the chain is concerned the chain was a stock chain put on 2 yrs ago with about 4000 miles on it. Secondly I lube the chain and clean it at least every 4-5 miles. I had noticed yesterday me and Busa1300Nut was out riding and heard this noise kinda popping, but didnt seem to be an issue. He mentioned it to me when we stop. You could hear it every now and then. will see...I ll give more updates as I get them..thanks...

So you put on a used chain with 4000 miles on it???

That popping sound you heard was a kink in the chain. It probably either jumped off the sprocket or broke at the kink. I've seen chains come up through the seat when they broke. A chain enema sounds painful.

Sorry about the bike i hope everything works out for you.

Very sorry for your pain and anguish.....

I put a new stock chain on it 2yrs ago and only have about 4,000 miles on it when it let go....did that clarify what you was thinking...and the more I think the more I think maybe it did have a kink or something....not sure all I know is Im alive

Can you ask your guardian angel to send a friend my way? I want that kind of Grace watching over me while I ride. And don't be modest, your skills helped save your hiney. Good job saving it.
