It's taken many years for me to purge most of those sweet memories of youth, yet, the one which remains is the one of that rhythmic lump-lump, lump-lump, . . . sound of a broken chain hitting the wheel housing. If you use chains at any speed greater then about 5 MPH on anything except packed or deep snow , you'll hear the same sound. George |
