#14in this specific case i must have either read or been told never to do this chain lube thing because in 30 yrs i have never even been tempted to try, images like this are always in the back of my mind. when you read any magazine today especially the euro mags it seems there are always gory pics from the readers in ERs with smiles on their faces like its some kind of badge of honor to have done or survived something stupid. man i dont want to wind up in the ER if i dont have to. the other thing is i dont think there is a manual today that advises to even run your bike on a stand in gear let alone try to lube a moving chain. i feel for the dude and as he said himself he will live to live with this the rest of his life. i guess if you buy a bike or a car or anything that can cause harm and dont read a manual or how to operate it then you are asking for the results that ignorance pays out.

#20joe like the analogies at the race track, it teaches me to be humble cos im not the fastest, it teaches me that we all have our own individual attributes.
also amuses me that some macho bravado is played out in the pits then only to be dashed on the track, seems the loudest proudest ones on the tarmac are the most humble when dismounted.
I also believe that natural selection plays a large hand (no pun intended) in our existence and in my head I privately will think thoughts that should not and do not come out of my mouth, or that I would write in a public forum.
I do not know if you folks can tell but if I only believe in one thing it would be in common courtesy, joe thinks even a bad situation can be bandaged with a little kindness and courtesy.
There is a stigma that wraps around the whole of our culture of motorcycling, for the harley crowd it is undoubtedly rebellious and tough, for the racer replica crowd it is mystical, poof gone like a puff of smoke and also sprinkled with some of the same rebellious and tough ie harley bleeds over to them. Then there's the street fighters, a unique cut in their own right.
Honestly, fools should not ride motorcycles much less work on them, reason being we are all gonna fall down in the scheme of things, it takes alot of brain power to do it correctly and still mistakes will be made. It is up to each one of us to figure out where we belong and how much risk to accept or reject.
