Morning all, well so much for my nice ride up the M1, my chain decided that the gixer was putting too much power down and decided to let go in the fast lane

All ok though, got it to hard shoulder safe, it took a chunk out of the number plate, worn the edge of the tyre where is was jammed between the swingarm and tyre, and wrapped itself round the front sprocket, damaging the front sprocket cover in the process!!

Just need recovery to come pick it up from the house now to take it to clay cross for me!

Akey!! least your chain letting go as saved you from getting a tug from the Leic's finest..
still a bummer though!
