I took the BII out for a Sunday ride,Well 10 mins after unloading I broke the rear yoke on rock ledge (yes I could have took a bypass).
But when the rear yoke let go,The flying shaft caught the wiring loom in the frame and pulled every wire out:scare:
So we put a stap on it and pulled it the whole 1/2 a mile back too the TR, Loaded went home and had a:beer:
So if any one else thinks there luck is bad,You're not alone:D
 
Hate it when that happens. Just think it could have been worse, when the yoke let loose you could have over revved it, kicked a rod and so on. I get some bad luck streaks as well so you definitely aren't alone. Sucks to hear though.

can we say drive shaft loops! A buddy of mine had a 2000 f-250 with about 11inchs of lift with some 39's and it busted the lil strap the holds the u-joint on the yoke. Well..... it got the fuel tank, exhaust and even tried to come up into the bed! With it being the two piece shaft it came off and stuck the slip-shaft in the concrete. Over all if I remember it cost him about $1200 to get it all fixed
