Anyway, how did that happen? How could it happen? My first thought was that someone had the wheel off and forgot the spacer, but the bolts would have just sheared right off or just stopped the wheel dead.
My guess is that the guy had a bearing failure, and it ate through teh spacer over time allowing the sprocket bolts to wear into the swingarm. And how did I get your sister pregnant? She took it in the butt.

Wouldn't you at least feel it when the sprocket bolts started to hit the swingarm when this all started? Some peoples kids.

I've seen one where the guy didn't install the spacer and it had cut in an 1/8'' slot in the swing arm within 5 miles. The rider had no clue that it was being chewed... I just happened to notice by luck.

How could you not notice that before buying. The chewed up arm and the rear drum hub sticking out almost 1/2".
Who ever let that happen had to cut into the arm to allow the nuts to move. |

I can see how the guy didnt notice it, I guess, but damn its still bad.
Along the same lines, here is a picture taken off the killboy blog of a guy riding with his kickstand down, and one of the commentors said that the guy made a few passes with it dragging and bouncing and the guy never noticed. http://killboy.blogspot.com/2009/09/...s-it-real.html
