Well guys, it's fun to read all of the commentary here... I'm glad at least two people ---> @796LVR & @tinmanthe7th were concerned about my safety. Basically with all of the hard miles I've been putting on, even with chain spray it was getting tight, I was hoping to ride the chain until I got back to Seattle...but instead, when I was spraying it that morning my friend who was helping (I don't have a center stand) noticed a broken link, and sure enough, one of the links was half broken...so I have no idea how long I had been riding with the chain being held together with half a link! ...it could have been bad...very bad for me. The guys at Big Twin in Boise (a former Ducati dealer) were awesome and epic riders in their own rite...they saved my butt and got me on the road in time to make it to Bend, OR that night @Ducatihunter1 that the plan when I get back in Seattle. @fhodak come ride with me for a few weeks and we'll see how clean you can keep that swingarm of yours ;-) @Scotty-Nemo I hope you get the chance to do those miles...it's worth it @MonsterRider thank you

Quoted from: hyperducati - "That swing arm needs a good cleaning"

Yours would be that dirty too if you would have put as many miles and ridden through as much adverse weather as circuscoffee has in the last few weeks. I'm sure he'll get around to cleaning it when he finally gets home.

I'm a total wuss, my swing arm never looks like that but then again if it is dirty or raining she is under the covers... Lololol must be nice to do some real miles... Someday..... :)
