I DIDN'T WRECK!! :)
not this time. this was just plain metal fatigue i guess.
ok 300ex swing-arm 2 bolts in the back to tighten the chain.
one on chain side. cracked from right about there to about mid-ways' up the little housing deal (i guess it's called)

SUXX!!!
it's spring. this stuff's not supposed to happen untill winter.
i replaced the chain, checked all my stuff out on my last wash, witch was just last week. then today we "ROLL OUT" me a timber wolf and a freind on my big-bear. just a cruise. little muddy (FACT::--YOU GET JUST AS MUDDY WITH REAR FENDER'S AND NO FRONTS'-- AS YOU DO WITH NO REAR'S AND NO FRONT'S) well we putted around for a while, showed em' what's up a few times'.
then went to a little road jump place where it's kinda like a table top with a paved "top" hit it catching just as much air as i usually do nothing major (4/5ft air's) launching over a road landing on a downslope on the other (grassy) side..then decided to head down the high-way a little way's to go up into this old BMX track (to see if there were any old jumps still out there (it's all grown up in kudzoo vines'.) they take off i give them the lead, then i start around em' "BLING" chain's off. no biggie (:huh) there's the crack i had some tool's on the "bear" and tighten'd it up but i'm still freakin' out about the crack. it's tight ride. then i hear it poppin and grindin' like it's loose. tighten it again same ole over and over all the way home..the bolt's are tight but it's the rest of the metal around it thats loose causing the
"oval-thing":confused: to turn and get loose...ahhhh
swinger's are kinda expensive..i keep lookin up at the "quadshop's" "flash" banner and seein the swing-arm pop up and i know i gotta have one....this sux...

of stuff i need to get my bike in shape....(this is depressing)

1 SWINGARM (cracked)
2 PLASTIC (mainly rear. might as well get complete silver)
3 REAR BRAKES (rear block off i think is all i need)
4 TOP END REBUILD (rings are shot) might as well go 305
5 LEFT SIDE CASE (chain popped another crack. no leak)
6 TIRE'S ALL AROUND ( 1 set small 1 set tall both too slick)
7 EXHAUST (ran over mine:D 00ps) D.G. sux
8 BRAKE PADS (front) squeek! squeek! squeek!
9 HANDLE BARS'
10 NET'S FOR MY NERF'S (can't replace em')D.G. rivetted)
11 NERF BARS
12 SPROKETT'S (front/rear)

the reason i said i'd go "305" on the overbore is because
"to me" the 330 kit "NEEDS" some sort of cooling system. the 300ex runs a little on the hot side as it is. i know they make an oil cooler for the 300 but. that's another $500+ to get that along with the kit...and well....
...most of all this needs to be fixed before i can have a completly "worry free" day.
now the things i "want"

1 SILVER PLASTIC
2 POWDER COATED (lime green frame) BLUE/WHITE/LIME GREEN GRAPHIX)--(to be made) (line's)
3 +2 a-arms'
4 alumi air box
5 +1 swing-arm
6 MAXXIS RAZOR'S all round
7 RENTHOL BAR'S
8 DOUGLAS rim's
9 EXSTRA SET OF REAR HUBS (extra rims')
10 i could keep going and going like that d%$& bunny on t.v. but i don't have enugh viagra

anyone wanna add all that up for me.....and any one wanna send funds to
T-BONE'S bone's broke his wallet contribution? what is "pay-pal"? i'll accept it i'm sure.

It sounds like your collarbone healed well.
