Road rash over >70% of dude's body? How'd he pull that one off?
I thought I had a bad weekend:
1) wife tanking baby for the day, ride for me!!
2) passed a cop going WAY faster than the limit (i think he was asleep)
3) had not one . . . but TWO close calls
4) 1.5 hours into a 6 hour ride, the chain craps out on me, had to limp home.
I spent the rest of the day searching for a chain/sprocket set and looking for tips on making the change online.
I CURSE THE GODS OF TORQUE FOR THEIR FIRST COMMANDMENT:
THOU SHALT TORQUE THE HELL OUT OF THE COUNTERSHAFT NUT, SUCH THAT NO MERE MORTAL CAN EVER ACHIEVE ITS RELEASE!!!
Sorry about your friend's neck. I hope he heals correctly, so he can live a normal life. Good call on not going on THAT ride!
Bummer.
