You've been absent!
If I had a dollar for every time I thought about you, I'd start thinking about you
Sheesh, A bloke is either too busy at work or too busy when there is no work getting to the same point you first started which was you are to busy to do anything but work, AAAARRRGGGHHH!
Oh well I am booked for the PI Classic, leaving Syderny 19th Jan Woo Hoo!
Luke (LKC73 on here I think?) and his mate are going down for that! Tony is racing a RGV250
That's awesome! You will probably be a couple of days ahead of us on the road, but we'll see you there!

From Sydney?
I'm taking a couple of days more to get there as I have freeloaders (Sandgropers) that would like to take it a bit easier and check out the highlights!
Will be heading back through the Cooma area some way leaving PI on the Monday.
If we get our shit together on the Tuesday early enough will call past and grab those Rearsets on the way and say g'day!
No worries. If you don't make it, I could bring them with me and hand them over at PI

So this happened
I'm guessing the joining link let go under *ahem* hard acceleration. Busted a heap of stuff in there, but I don't have time have a good look just yet. Can see the clutch rod sheared off, actuator cover broked, water pump broked, shifter housing broked. There's more but fingers crossed, the engine case is alright!!!
I'll post pics when I finish work in a couple of days

That sucks big time.
You were running a proper link, not clip yea?
Yes it was a riveted link but as it was gone completely, I suspect that the pins weren't peened over enough. If it just snapped, I'd expect to find the halves still on the chain.
Oh well, time to start hunting for engine bits.....

What a fucker! I always go crazy town with peening those pins (well, not ot the point where they are so thin they're useless, but you get the idea) as I'm paranoid of this happening.
Last one I did i actually had the vernier out as if you go too far you tend to thin it out and can actually weaken it. Too little or too much can both be bad.
So the water pump casing is kaput (though the innards are OK)
The gear shifter cover now has an inspection window
and the little star thing on the end of the drive sprocket is missing two teeth
Plus the clutch push rod is in three pieces and I had to push out the broken part from the right hand side.

That sucks.
Ladies and Gentelmen, take my advise. "Pull down your pants and slide on the ice."
Buy a Busa they said, be fun they said, mate that just hurts. Hope it's not any worse than that :-(
Wow, and you didn't get anything on your ankle? How do you boots look?
thats just fucked up mate...coulda bin worse tho
Yeah I've still got my fingers crossed that nothing else is buggered. No Si, nothing on my boots.
Going to pay more attention to chain condition from now on. I tend to lube and adjust it, that's it! But I'll be having a better look in future.
Hagar is chasing some bits for me, so I should know next week how long it will be off the road.
At the mo', I've got 4 bikes and 3 of them are in pieces
