Squires is where the ktm front sprocket bolt sheared off & the front sprocket & chain jammed in the frame locking the rear up , my mate nearly rn into the back of me & the car park packed full of bikers all turned to look at the tw@t on the ktm ! luckily two guy's came out to the road & picked the back of the bike up and dropped it off in the car park . AA mechanic told me i was going nowhere with out a recovery truck so i spent a few hours in the bar & was given a complimentary key ring lol , a few hours & 3 pints later the recovery bloke turned up unimpressed that i'd been drinking until he found out i'd already seen the mechanic . All in all squires seemed like an ok place

Dunno mate been told a few times i've got a nut/screw loose !

i thought i was always ok with it but the only think i can think of is must have let the chain get too loose but surely thats bloody loose :think:

must adimit the R1 not came off after a stonking first gear wheelie !
