We were headed to the next town to the north of us today, a 22 mile drive, to have lunch at the Hanger Hotel, a cool place for a bite if you happen to be in Fredericksburg Texas. About half way I noticed a bike chain in the road and thought to myself that’s not good. An amazing distance further up the road I noticed a Kawasaki crotch rocker on the side of the road. Been there done that so I turned around and went back to pick up the chain in the middle of the road. We were in the GF’s car and the only thing I had to pick it up with was a piece of pink tissue and a pink gift bag.
We get back to the bike and I walk up with the pink bag with the guy looking at me kinda funny. He asks me if I saw the master link. Nope. He had been riding with a buddy who hadn’t noticed him missing at that point. He was on the phone with someone so I figured he had things handled.
We continued on and spotted his buddy headed back to look for him so figured he would be ok. While having lunch I looked online at the only parts house that was open there to see if they had master links. Nope.
On the way home they were still there so when we got to Kerrville I went to the one hardware store that was open on Sunday to see if thy had one. Nope. They had 420 links and 620 and up but no 530.
I got the 620 like just in case we could ghetto it in. Also got them bottles of water as the temp was in the high 90’s. They were waiting for his son to come in the pickup.
So. always keep a master link on your keychain just in case .
