ok - just call me Goofy!! It just never occurred to me to have my chains looked at - at least after only 1000 miles. I mean the Harleys' chain (yes it's chaindrive - even my Harley is vintage) is supposed to last something like 5000-10,000 miles and it's a motorcycle right??.....so a bike?????

sooooooooooo while I was at my LBS picking up Baby I just casually mentioned that whole chain thing and they all said - oh yeah.....we forgot to check it and guess what??....Baby needs a new chain! I've since looked at mileage for the 2 road bikes and one of them is over 1500 and the other is 1900+ so guess I need to check those chains too!

Thanks everyone for bringing something so simple and yet so important to my attention.
