Found some odd damage this morning

[phil675]

So I'm just about to go for a Sunday ride, take the cover off and find this:

I guess I didn't notice when I came back on Friday night as it was a bit dark, but I have no idea how long I was riding around like this. Has a cord come out my tyre and lashed the back of the bike over and over? It was getting a bit low but no cords visible.

Or have I gone over something that stuck in the tyre and kept smacking the back? Such bad luck this week, crashed the car then this.

Mmm I know they were past it but I only just got the bike so was waiting for payday, and of course wanted to ride it.

Ah well lesson learned.

I whipped the wheel off and swingarm is ok, just looks like the paint has been rubbed off over time, right at the top where the mudguard bolts on.
