      That is pretty ugly. Could have been alot worse if the rear wheel had locked though. Go buy a lottery ticket or something.

        Nice! Your motor must have some balls to do that, lol. Time for a 9".

          Its the 50 extra HP I get from my ghetto, home-made pod filters and "custom" exhaust...

          I feel pretty lucky so far. I had a huge "No F@#&!'n WAY!!" moment when I tore it apart... Thought about that rear wheel locking up instead of the gear shearing off the way it did. Thank god the gears took it all instead...

            thats a mess, but has been stated,
            lucky it chewed the gears rather than locking the
            rear wheel up.


            +1 I like that idea as well Guy.
