guts coming out

haha! this absolutely doesn't mean what the title says and of course it doesn't mean me, or i wouldn't be here blogging.

but almost, ya, when the chain of my motorbike broke the rear tire got stuck and bike was skidding, making an ugly scary high noise, and back to sliding. it was geared in, i didn't pull the clutch, and i instantly knew what happened.

"darn!" i said.

before the instance i was on my way to a coffee shop, i planned to have some reading after a cheerful dinner with my funny dynamic colleagues, but the idea was changed so i just made a turnaround and headed back to the accomodation.

and then..."bang!!!!!" everything happened too fast, breaking, skidding, noise, they were just in a heart beat or two. everybody on the road was looking at me, i was sure they were scared. i made a phone call to one of the colleagues Bing and as soon as he shouted "what!? your chain's off!? see, i told you~ never ride while car is aside. now you no cool as you thought anymore ya!?" the other four were laughing so loud that it was noisy even over the phone. but they would come back for me after they spared more room in the car which was full at the moment. and this was when i found a motorbike dealer nearby where i had it repaired. thank God.

before long the car arrived. i was quite surprised that actually just one of them left, and the other four were in the car together coming for me. man, now i was a bit touched. though Xi said "don't overly joy, we were coming to laugh at you, muahahahahahaha", i was still delighted. where else can i find a bunch of such nice guys!?


chain off, looked as if gut came out


twisted. that was not just it, the chain also hit the nuts fastening hub and rear gear, even the left adjusting bolt was snapped. the boss said i was fortunate because if the chain kept going, it would damage the front gear as well. and luckily the rocker arm was left unharmed.

i could tell the boss was an experienced guy as he could name various kind of old but still famous bikes, and he could name quite a few parts he had modified when he was young. so i was grateful and relaxed about all this situation.


this photo was taken one week before the instance. on the back of my bike were quilt at the bottom and heater on top. after a long ride over 120km my back and arm were really sour as i had to change my riding position while carrying these stuff.
