Finally snapped my chain

[KAR]

Well I was leaving my parents summer trailer up in Milton(just north of jansville) wisconisin. Fill up at the gas station, I'm all suited up and ready to go so I leave and as I'm turning on the the on ramp for the highway, give it some gas and boom crunch crunch crunch. I pulled the clutch in right away, thought I blew the bottom end out of the block so I look over and down and then see chain sliding on the pavement behind me.

It startled the shit out of me but luckly I was only going about 20mph when it happened and I was less then Five minutes away from my parents and brothers campground. Called them up and had one of there friends with a pick up truck pick me and the bike up. Now it sits at my brothers friends house chainless :,-(

Mike yeah yes that is my thought on it, it could have been a lot worse then what it was. I actually think the strut helped save my leg/foot from getting hit since well I really need to put a chain guard on the bike. Suprisingly that chain has been on the bike for atleast four years with the abuse that it has seen.

Haha I wish my brother/parents owned the campground. I think you miss understood what I was trying to say they both have campers in a seasonal campground and that campground is Lakeland campground.
