My favorite part @ 00:54 : (after a string of expletives) "Ouch!".

Glad you weren't seriously hurt. But, I have to wonder why that chain was across a path. Was it to keep bikes out?

Except for the interjected "Jesus" my phrasing would have been identical to yours. The sun, in the right or wrong place, can make simple things almost impossible to see. Very glad you & the bike were not seriously hurt.

I'm not sure. I think it's there to keep cars from using that exit from the parking lot; that exit is at a crest of a hill. Just a guess.
Re: Crashing Into A Chain Barrier On A China Girl
Surprising to the bike, nothing. The chain must've first hit the front tire and then bounced up clearing the handlebars (it did catch the clutch handle which harmlessly turned) and then hitting me across both arms resulting in black and blue bruises on my biceps as well as a day or two worth of pain. Everything's great now.

Sure glad you're alright from that impact with the chain.... myself I would have been thanking God that I wasn't hurt bad instead of cursing him......and taking his name in vain......!
Again glad your ok physically from that accident.

Hey mapbike --
I think the Good Lord knows the difference between one of my spontaneous outbursts and truly calling his name in vain. =)Sure glad you're alright from that impact with the chain.... myself I would have been thanking God that I wasn't hurt bad instead of cursing him......and taking his name in vain......!

Russ, just viewed your video, same thing I did this July, only I hit a steel bar across a street in town doing 20! Bike and I flipped over bar landing with bike on top. I had some serious bruised shins and a male type pain as I rode the top bar down to the head set! Bent my fork back to the motor. Jerked it out and rode home! Tough guy, no?
