Just pushed the bike nearly 4km uphill in leathers in nearly 30c. Heard a tinkling sound,being an older bike I quickly pulled over...there's the chain hanging out of the bike,snapped..nightmare. No one to call, can't leave it on the side of the road anyway. Just had to go 20m at a time up a steep prick of a hill. I'm rooted. Had a laugh when I got home as I used to do a paper run on that hill as a kid, and it was shit house back then with a BMX and a milk crate on the front. No idea if there's any other damage....hope not...just happy to be home, in my undies with a 2L bottle of water staring at a frosty stubby in the fridge!
Sorry to hear. What sort of bike? No mates to call?
Mate I feel for you. It's bad enough running out of fuel on a road / trail bike and having to push it a KM or so, let alone 3 - 400kg Harley 4 KM up hill. I bet that's enough excercise done for a full year.
Good on you SG!!!!! Thought most HD riders now all rubber belt Harley 24hour road side assistance. So incuraging!!! When I road my shovelhead I always had a spare joining link but never needed it. Also had an old plastic film ??? You now when we used Kodak brownies the little plastic film holder with a cap I used one to keep spare fuses . I'll bet the bike was not a Harley!!!! I would like to see you push a dresser up hill's. Cheers how about having a valve seat fall out middle of no where n use a camp fire then tooth paste to reseat valve had copper head gaskets then no lap tops no mobile phones just common sence
Haha you blokes in the city are lucky! I had to push my bike a couple km's into Benalla one morning. Instead of pushing it 2 more km into the servo I ducked into the nearest farm house. 500m long gravel driveway, dog nearly mauled me and no one home. Pushed it back out to the road, just as the owner turned up. Told him I was out of petrol, he had none so thankfully drove me into town with a jerry can. Lesson learnt- fill up before leaving home!
