the guy in front lost his chain whilst speeding in Germany. It snapped of because he never oiled it and wound it up to tight. The Yellow flash is the license plate that missed the camera bike.

  • It happens in 0:02 Looks like first chain falls out and then number plate.

    I'm sure that rider learned his lesson what happens if he doesnt lube the chain. Too tight chain will overheat and begins to "burn", also too tight chain will make drive axle and rear axle bearings to wear faster.

  • Yup the rubbers between the plates burn out and the plates rub together causing wearing and tearing eventually leading to a break

  • Lucky boys. I was in a similar situation when my friends chain snapped. It wrapped around the back wheel and locked it up just as we passed a lorry. All ended OK just a dry cleaning bill for his leathers after the biggest tank slapper known to man!

  • That would have scared the shit out of me.

  • Jeez, that could have been hideous for the guy behind!

  • look how close that link cam to smacking you in the head!! :o

  • They were both lucky right there. Ive seen a chain break on an RC at full tilt and tear the guys ham open. It was harsh

  • wow..I don't get the 15 dislikes..thanks for posting. 

  • The max time to change out to new Quality Components should be within 1/12 Hr or so. Having the tools & knowing how is the biggest need. Looks the parts up online, That way you have an idea of the cost involved. You could buy the parts yourself & come out spending way less. The dealers & shops always mark the parts up like 100% at times, More or less. That's what I would do, but I would do it myself, and save the labor charges. You should not pay for work you did not ask to be done.

  • holy shit that was scary

  • lets all learn from this that could of been a whole different story
