How could you not notice that before buying. The chewed up arm and the rear drum hub sticking out almost 1/2".

Who ever let that happen had to cut into the arm to allow the nuts to move.

No bro, the tire goes back and forth on the axle...in fact I have a theory that the wheel always starts away from the swing arm because of the bike being on a kick stand.... Thank goodness this is the last day of my meds!!!!!

I can see how the guy didnt notice it, I guess, but damn its still bad.

Along the same lines, here is a picture taken off the killboy blog of a guy riding with his kickstand down, and one of the commentors said that the guy made a few passes with it dragging and bouncing and the guy never noticed.
