So, was at Wallyworld getting a couple of things. Noticed a guy wearing a colors cut working on his semi- rat bike. Asked if he needed help ( I never leave a rider stranded). He said he needed a nut a nd bolt. So he hopped in the dually and I took him to the hardware store 3 miles or so away and he got what he needed. Got back and he explained his chain tensioner had "exploded". He went in the store and bought a new skateboard. Asked him what that was for. He took 2 of the polyurethane wheels off the skateboard. End result was he cranked it up a nd blew outage there. The pic explains it all.
