Real BAd idea, I got a mate who came limping into the motorcycle shop, we kept on asking him what was wrong, but he just hobbled in , bought some parts and hobbled out again.
This went on for three weeks, it bugged us and and all the mechanics decided to interogate him next time......which we did, turns out his overtight, botched two master link chain busted at over seventy MPH, it whipped his toes real good.....BUT he was so scared to go to the hospital,that he didn't, well not at first.........he limped and hobbled and was very afraid.....untill, he "showed" his "bad toes" to us.....
IF, you have ever seen films like "scot of the antartic" or "shackleton" or any of the "I went to antartica ill equipped and my toes went black" sort of films, then you have a good idea of what this guys toes looked like.........
it was lucky he did show and tell us, because someone recognised the smell of gangrene,
and he was kidnapped immediately and taken to A and E were they amputated three of the affected toes, if he had left it any longer it would have been his leg, without any doubt at all.
Upshot was, he had a bastard of a time changing gears on his bike for ages, untill he got used to the lack of toes........
the chain, would have cost less than twenty of our pounds........
Choose carefully, new chain or a few toes? Hmmm hard choice eh?
