    Had a branch come back and hit me in the leg. I'm fine, because the case took the brunt of it. The case cracked next to the bar and now has a bar oil leak. Anybody got a good fix for this?

    Bummer to have a repair like that, but it is probably better than a good crack on the leg! I had a branch get me hard on my shin and I think it bruised the bone. It took months for it to heal and swelling and “color” to go away.
