[Maki]

Damn...... I am scared to do any work on my bike while the engine is running. I see it is a healthy fear...

[dogsnbikes]

good that he has the balls to show,In hope no one else will make the same mistake................:brick:

[sondela]

Noooo.... :sick:

[Edbear]

Glad to see most comments were sympathetic too. I think we've all done some dumb things in the past that in hindsight we should have known better. Poor bloke.

From the comments:

"At least I can spell BRAKE in my signature"
"At least I can type it"

ROFL!

I saw this on another forum and cringed when I saw it! Ouch! I lube the chain with the bike on a rear stand in 1st gear with spray but turn it off when I need to physically touch the chain.

[Pussy]

Would make your eyes water!
A good lesson in NOT cleaning your chain with the engine running/in gear

[klyong82]

Jeepers.....toothbrush and kerosene for me with the engine off...:sick:

[steelestring]

Man thats a bit of a painful sight!! fucking insane amounts of nerves in those finger tips aye:shit:

My next bike will be a shafty...

You want a shafty?

I'm sure piratejafa could oblige (he's a honda rider:buggerd:)

As for the fingers....could be worse I guess but what a nob:shit:

Question: Who buggers around taking photos and shit after they have just done that to their fingers?

[Maha]

Our very own SN4PD (Liam) had a similar moment...
This pic is also very graphic, should make your bits tighten....http://www.kiwibiker.co.nz/forums/member.php?u=3631

OK - Haven't opened the link.

Heard enough thanks.

[NordieBoy]

I always lube my chain with the engine running.
No problems yet.

[paturoa]

I think Albert Einstein's quote pretty much covers this - see my signature.

[hang0ver]

I came across a guy a coupla years back who munched his fingers in the same fashion... Not as severely luckily.

This seems to be a common occurence.

[98tls]

Still dont understand why anyone would even think they have to have the thing running to clean/lube a chain.:crazy:

[Jizah]

I lube the chain on the CT110 with it in gear. It's just quicker. Wouldn't dream of it on a bigger bike though.

[paddy]

I think we probably need to be clear though. He wasn't just spraying lube on the chain - he was using he hand to hold a rag against/around the chain in order to clean it. I feel sorry for the guy I really do.

[Danae]

I don't think I'll click....lol....

[Jizah]

Come on, doooooo eeeeet. You know you want to.

Much easier and safer.

I've even been know to oil my chain at the traffic lights...

[98tls]

Ive secretly oiled my chain without wearing the required saftey gear and (whispering) i never waved.:shit:

The words I'm looking for rhyme with 'Clucking Bell'.....

Ouch 0o0ops typing with one hand is not fun LOl...:lol:

[hayd3n]

ohhh

ohhhh
man that gotta hurt
squeamish

[cc rider]

Ouch 0o0ops typing with one hand is not fun LOl...:lol:....not if the other hand is having it all.


Yeah, amazing photos. Lucky guy, it wasn't all the fingies. +100 for posting it.

I though everyone just jacked the bike up & spun the wheel by hand, to clean/wipe the chain....or take it (chain) off to properly clean, if it's that grotty/gluggy.

Is kinda like "don't check (with bare hand) if your muffler is loose when out riding" (yes saw that one happen :stupid:) Ouch! Burnies!

[LBD]

Duh...up there with the dumbest things ever done...I should know, I have done a few myself....still got almost all my fingers but...

Upside....he could now be concidered a local in Hari Hari.... where...:Punk:... is in the process of signalling the barkeep for 4 more beers accross a busy bar room....

2 things.....

1. whats a chain???.....lol

2. yes there was a young man in dorkland, who chopped his thumb doing the very same thing.. computer geek strikes again...hehehehehehe

[The Stranger]

So blood is better than kero or WD40 for cleaning a chain?

[The Stranger]

You are quite right. I know of 3 others who have lost bits of fingers doing that.

Still all is not lost, at least they will have a constant visual reminder as to how fucken stupid they really are for the rest of their lives.

[modboy]

jeeezus !!! just cleaned my chain tonight too, ready for a roadie to whakatane next week. I'm extra careful round the rear cog. I wouldn't even think about running my bike while on the paddock stand. Can't help but feel for the poor sod tho.

Tell me about it... I came off my Honda CB100 in the Hutt Valley - circa 1981 whilst try to fiddle about with my loose front fender - bolt snapped, fender rolled round under the front wheel. Use your imagination for the rest - luckily I was only going about 40kph. Still - I sat dazed on the kerb, after a local ran out to help me, waiting for my dad to come pick me up... :doh:

Not good modboy, not good. You were fiddling while riding???? Tisk! Tisk!

First Dean 'rocking' at the lights....now you fiddling on the go. Focus, boys, focus. :spanking:


Hope you came out of it all intact, modboy. Or did having to explain to dad hurt more :stupid:

[scumdog]

I don't think I'll click....lol....

Me too - having a missing finger-tip and two each side of it that ain't as God made 'em I already know about that kinda shit.:pinch:

[Insanity_rules]

I don't think I'll click....lol....

Yeah go with that, made me want to hurl.

[serious4]

So not only is there crud on the chain and sprocket but also skin, bone, nail and blood. Thought he was supposed to be cleaning it. GOOD ONE!!

Wonder if it hurt???

Owwwwwww!!!!!! Wicked!!!!

Why wouldn't it be real... this happens all the time. As posted by Maha, a member of this site did it a few years back and lost his thumb. Adrenalin is an awesome thing, and in this modern day some young people feel the need to take photos of anything interesting that happens in their life.

I've never injured myself cleaning a chain in this way, but I have destroyed a scrubbing brush and gave myself a fright one day when I wasn't thinking about what I was doing.

[TOTO]

Apreciate the squeamish warning man. You get a bling for that.

Did you manage to keep your pies down Toto?

Ummm Yep ! and DAMHIW but;

a. It doesnt hurt (for the first half to hour, it just goes very, very numb)
b. When you have to wait until your wife gets home from work to take you to the doctors and you cant really ride theres nothing much to do except take photos of the damage :whistle:

FWIW, I aint the member referred to above so that makes at least two
