In my youth I raced motorcycles, once had a primary drive chain break on my BSA wreaking the clutch and casing. Fortunately it was a local so laid the bike on its side shot off home, tore apart another engine, rushed back to the paddock fitted parts and back out there! Numerous road side and occasional trackside dodges but I have been fortunate with my sevens not to needed anything major other than the time I was heading to see the maiden flight of the first air worthy Mosquito since they were decommissioned after the war. On that occasion I broke the crank at high RPM on a motorway totally destroying the engine, and I mean blitzed it, almost nothing was saveable, I was close to the airfield so got towed there and then trailered home at the end of the day so nothing heroic at all.
