Nephew Down.

It was a KBC not sure on the exact model. It definately fitted well as I checked it when he first got the bike.
As for the visor, he had it down when I last saw him in my mirrors, and he's certain that it was down when he came off. He can't actually remember coming off but can recall just before.

Ahh I see, I'm just wondering how he sustained the facial injuries. visors do crack off in crashes, mine did - I remember hearing it ping off (infact I used it again the other day lol).
the damage to that pictured bike is ridiculous, that really really shouldn't happen.

Sickening

If that bloke didnt know and you weren't told then I'd say your Nephew just started on a long road to a big payout.

Lets hope it doesnt put him off riding, and a speedy recovery to the lad.

I don't know I'm not sure how big the payout would be as I can't see the chassis weakness being a factor in causing the crash just a stupid result of a crash. Unless it caused further injury than would have been or snapped before he hit the deck then I'm guessing it would be moneys toward a replacement bike ...eventually.
main thing is he's alright though

Unforunately, exactly what I was thinking. There probably won't be any way of proving wether the damage to the frame happened before or after he hit the deck.
Poor lad's only TPF&T aswell!

Ah rite do I have the wrong end of the stick?

I thought that nephew had crashed because of the break. in this order:
approaches corner,
brakes hard,
Head stock snapped,
nephew goes down.

and then Ideally it continues in this order:
Nephew gets better,
Nephew gets lawyer (or Ed )
Nephew says yes your honour
Nephew gets LOAAADDDSSS A MONEY. (someone post harry enfield image here)

They will be able to tell what kind of break it was for sure.
The stress fracture would have a differrnt kind of impact on the metal the fatigue would show up.
tbh I should think it would be irrelivent if the re-call was ignored.
