    Its a bit of a problem that I live in an apartment in the city and the bike is in a secure car park. I dont even own any tools. The bike shop is on the way to work. I was always less of a hassle to drop it off there and pick it up at the end of the day then getting the bike out of the car park, leaving it on the street outside my building, getting tools, fiddling with it, dropping the tools off and going to work covered in lube.
    In conclusion, I am a city boy...

    It will have bent the shaft the chain drive cog is on, whatever thats called.

    On one of our GT250Rs we found the clip missing off the chain link. How the hell it kept going beats me.

    Yeah my bike shop gets a blank stare every time they ask me to drop my bike off there and leave it with them. But then I can't ride it, fool!

    Anyways, good save mate.

    I locked my rear wheel up on my Hyosung GT250R a while back. I was going 100km/h at night in the wet and the chain gaurd flicked off into the rear sprocket. There is a metal piece in those chain gaurds. I have actually read about this happening to someone else before!! I slid for a few seconds (a loooong fish tail) and then the gaurd shattered and I pulled over.

    Nicely done man! Glad you didn't lock up your wheel at 100km/h (in traffic especially!!!)
