Breaking a chain link

[vt6]

Hi Chaps

Just had an interesting one, up early to make the most of decent weather, a few mile down the road I hear the chain slapping good and proper. I pull over to find one side of the link has been demolished, is this a common thing?

I rode for two year a bit back and racked up a fair few miles and never came across this?

Snapped a few on the GT.

Funniest one was when leaving work, went to lift it up, revs went silly and the front end slammed down.
Looking at my bike thinking that the gearbox had gone or whatever.
Then a mechanic from the garage oppersite, hands me my chain back, and said "You dropped this mate."

I only bought the bike last week, it's low miles so possibly the original chain. I adjusted it as normal and away I went, I guess it's one of them things. DID gold chain on order - Missing decent weather today though, gutted.

Never had a chain snap had one get eaten by the rear sprocket at about 20mph that was pretty scary.
