Its happened to me today, down i went!!
about 500m from my house turning out on to the road , back end went on what must have been greasy road. Luckly all of about 3/4 MPH the dammage to the bike is, bar end scuffed, brake leaver very slightly scuffed! rear brake leaver bent ( bent back in place now) and ground down a bit, and the right fairing scuffed and a little crack in it. I had rear cras bobbins on the swing arm so that took the brunt and meant there was no damage to the rear end at all. If only i had got around to fitting the frame sliders!!!!!!!!! doh. anyhow i am fine and the bike rides fine all working just anoying cosmetic dammage on a two month old bike!! I am not going to involve insurance company unless i really have to so does anyone know of a good company i can use to get my faring repaired??? |

Unlucky.
You know the old addages though about accidents and distance from home. Also there's one about frame sliders and fridges/sheds I believe. As for your plastics, have you thought of welding them yourself? |
