just a question , how did you chain came of ? , was is that loose ? or did it break?

hope you can fix it, try the liquid metal it can fix most things has to be worth a try.

don't let the white desert camel be broken for long you dont have much time before it starts getting dark

Indeed, it's getting darker every day hehe. Gonna wait and see what the insurance company and the workshop say about it, if they want too much money from me I try to fix it myself. Liquid metal or a new casing, we'll see.

About how it came off, have no idea why actually. I came through a corner on a bumpy gravel road pulling hard on the throttle when it said "CLONK" and the rear was spinning free. I look down and see the chain hanging behind the foot peg, not broken. Had checked the tension not long ago. Maybe it was a bit too old and stretched from the unlimited torque I got in the 660. =)

Enough about my missfortune, want to see more pics of bikes that actually runs! :eusa_dance:

When using these bikes as enduro you really need a chain guiding block as like displayed on my WR, visible below rear swing arm. Without such an aluminium or plastik block, chain might come off at heavy bumps as it happened to you. Risk gets bigger when there is more slack in your chain.
Presence of this chain block makes a big difference between enduro bikes and others, in fact.
Kind regards, Phil

I though oh those are nice piccies then i got to the mud, oh those are some dirty piccies:096:

Falling on the right / left side...

On the way home I had some problems keeping the correct angle:

It hit me that I fall to the right side at least 80% of the times, and usually I only hurt myself when I fall to the left side.
Strange. Made some inquires and found that many other drivers had the same tendency but reversed:

Wonder if it's because I'm left handed? Is there an explanation to these patterns?

Who knows, and in the end, who cares? =)

Weird.

More pics from our little daytrip HERE

Actually just a bump of Teneres "resting"

but perhaps when you are in the precursor to falling off, but post fully in control, you have your foot on the rear brake, and so take longer to get the foot down to save yourself from falling to the right than to the left, because the left foot dangles there doing very little until the point where your butt starts cramping as gravity takes hold, so you will put it down to save yourself quicker and the right foot is still occupied braking....?

I dont know.

But following on from this those that have abondonned hope of pulling out of the inevitable have stopped braking and their natural reaction is to kick out the right foot, whilst (on road ideas) still applying the front brake

Try doing all that picking up exercise with a GS! I think you may have had a hernia by now.

Sunny side up..

Well, im not sure as the BMW is not always completely flat because of the large engine.

My ten once went down with a full fuel tank, i could hardly get it up.
While my F650Gs (same weight + full tank) was just like a moped

Edit: i just dropped a bike twice, while i have already driven 30000km's (on/offroad)
Not looking forward to dropping it more often.

Well.. I seem to have developed a left-hand preference when dropping it:
