I admit to having done it a few times, using him as a model, until I'd heard horror stories, and watching a rag get caught in the sprocket and get mangled up.

Now it's bike on stand, engine off, wheel STATIONARY, and I just clean or lube every 10-15 links or so with a piece of cardboard behind the chain to protect the tires



You are not gaining much more time by running the motor and the risk of
Murphy kicking your ass is right up there with riding without a helmet.

Is it really worth it to get away with it 126 times and the next one rips your
finger or even worse your thumb off?
