Car driver narrowly avoids death by motorbike sprocket

[gjm]

Wow.

Not sure how this (http://www.nbcbayarea.com/news/local/Motorcycle-Part-Slams-Into-Windshield-Nearly-Hits-Driver-on-Highway-101-303160211.html) could happen, but... Wow.

[bogan]

Single sided swingarm with the sprocket carrier nut not tightened and staked would do it...

[Berries]

Fucking cagers.

[Maha]

He must have hit a pot hole.

[nzspokes]

That will stop the fucker talking on his phone while driving....

[5150]

That will teach him for following tailgating the bike

Since they make no mention of a motorcycle, which surely would have suffered a catastrophic failure for such a part to come off, perhaps the sprocket was lying on the side of a road and was caught by a vehicle's tyre and flicked up, or perhaps it was being transported on another vehicle and came off.

Yeah .. I'd go with this ...

Getting the sprocket out of a moving bike would mean dropping the axle, the wheel and all ... catastrophic failure ..

Sorry mate, I didn't see you (or your sprocket).

Dear Highway 101 driver

Just a quick reminder that you are lucky to be alive.

Try to remember that next time your coffee is not hot enough or Facebook is down for twenty minutes or some other bullshit.

Lots of love

That sprocket is way too clean to have come off a moving motorcycle. There is no oil on it whatsoever. Something smells fishy to me.

Maybe with a lack of maintainance it was one of those vandals that cant be arsed using chain lube, just run it dry. Cant really tell from that photo but the hub part looks dirty... just clean faces on the teeth.

Not everyone uses goopy crap and never cleans it properly in between lubes, you fucking peasant :bleh:

[5ive]

Probably cleaned a little of itself on the windscreen and upholstery on the way through as well.

[varminter]

Bet someone was using it like one of them ninja throwing thingies.
