The jacket was shredded. Luckily I had AAA and a flatbed tow came. We were able to get the Bonneville onto the flatbed, then jerry-rigged a way to yank the rear tire backwards to get the shredded jacket out from beneath the chain and the sprocket. It was the last day of a 2,000 mile ride home and I only had to go 30 more miles. I rode slow in case the chain was damaged or stretched. When I got home, my wife asked where my jacket was. I told her that it blew off the back of my bike, which was true. And that when I stopped, it was damaged and I threw it away. A very truthful answer, albeit missing some details!One advantage of shaft drive. Was it hard to untangle the jacket?
