yep picked up quite a few bikes with the chain wrapped around the swingarm and axle, majority were hyosung 250s so either a common problem with the bike or a common problem with lack of maintenance and noobs.Do you remember the good old days before the internet?
when arguments were only entered into by the physically or intellectually able.

Def a good example of why chain maintenance is so important though, but knowing how to stop your bike I'm an emergency is even more important!
i was just citing examples i've picked up out of ditches and/or taken for repairs or repaired myself.

I don't think so, we all apply rear brake with the clutch pulled in occasionally and don't end up disintegrating like that bloke did.

Oh and the comments I was talking about are the ones in YouTube. Not me esteemed PSB colleagues.-

chain is visible the hole time. never gets pulled up away from the road as would happen if it caught on the sprocket.
rider error.
besides, remember getting bike chains caught on the rear sprocket? they never just fell out again. had to push, pull, poke and prod that sucker loose, but this bike got wheeled away.The greatest excitement comes from besting who you were yesterday.
