Mood: He's not happy {:o( He's back at sea!
Early 1980's serviced my old H*nda 400/4F2. Fitted a new chain and sprockets.
Just about finished fitting it and got called in fer mi tay.
Next morning out to the bike and sets off for work.
Gets to the A2 bow-water roundabout, slings it in left and then right. Next thing i know I'm on my ar*e watching the 400 slide up the road bounce off the kerb and cause all kinds of damage. I follow suit and end up in Gillingham hospital with the biggest bruise on my ar*e ever seen.

Yup you've guessed it; I fitted the front sprocket but failed to do it up tight having got called in for tea, then forgot all about it. It came off and it, plus the chain wrapped round the swing arm and locked the back end up.
