I WASN'T REALLY ALARMED BUT PARKED IT IN MY GARAGE, AND WOUND UP NOT RIDING IT FOR THE NEXT FEW DAYS. THE FOLLOWING WEDNESDAY (10/02/19), I LOADED UP MY SADDLEBAG AND PERFORMED A PRE-CHECK JUST BEFORE I WAS HEADED OUT FOR A RIDE, AND NOTICED THAT THE SCRATCH HAD TURNED INTO A LARGE CRACK THAT WENT THROUGH THE WHOLE WHEEL NUT! IT WAS REALLY STRANGE BECAUSE I HADN'T RIDDEN IN A FEW DAYS SO I WASN'T SURE HOW THAT COULD'VE HAPPENED. NEEDLESS TO SAY, MY RIDING DAYS HAVE BEEN HALTED.
