HAPPY SPRING

[the Ferret]

For those waiting until spring to dig out the bikes and go riding, today is your day.

Winter is in the rear view mirror and the open road awaits.

Think I will go for a spring ride. :biker:

Be back in a couple hours.

The 4 foot snow banks on each side of the street from last weeks snowstorm are only 2 feet high now. Probably won't see the last of them until the end of the month.
So the bike battery will sit on the basement shelf a while longer.

The goods news is that my motorcycle insurance dropped another 10%. I still think it's too high for a mature rider with 26 accident free years of riding experience. But at least it's going in the right direction.

It's the same thing for us here in the east after another big snow storm last night.
It will be a few weeks yet before tires will roll.

We still got snow on the ground but it should be gone sometime next week. The last 3 days of this month look promising according to the weather folks. Sunny with highs around 50F. I can't wait!

Spring has sprung. As did this guy's chain!

Yikes! Is that a big chunk missing from the rear sprocket? I've seen a few chain failures before, but that's a new one on me.

 

[Cormanus]

Doesn't look good does it?

But your new bike looks pretty good EarsOnWheels.

 

[the Ferret]

Thats an optical illusion guys. THere is a rear slider or footpeg blocking part of the rear sprocket.

 

[Cormanus]

LOL. So it is.

 

[flynrider]

Funny! I looked at it a few times and didn't notice it.

The chain looks like it's still in one piece. Hard to imagine how it could just come off the sprocket like that. It takes a lot of slack to get the links to clear the sprocket teeth.
