An off is an off and with it comes many things, one of which is realising what a wonderfull caring and sharing place this forum really is

Please do keep us updated on nephew and bike, i'm very interested to know if the bike was structuraly faulty.

Yes.
My Nephew is a lazy b@st*rd and didn't do a thing about it.

I went to the dealers for him to see about getting the bike checked.
Ed pointed me in the right direction regarding the legal aspect of the bike being fit for pupose etc.
He was a bit knocked about I suppose, but my brother said he would sort it, which he didn't.
It was then decided after they had waited too long that they would strip it and sell the good bits. They didn't!
I stripped the whole bike down for him, sorted out the salvagable parts and labelled them all up. All he had to do was put them on ebay.
guess what, they are still sat in my brothers garage
Oh well, not my money!!

He's fine thanks.
Just a small scar under his eye, a nice imprint of his teeth in his tongue where he bit through it!
The accident was last May. The thread was brought up beacause Squirrel Hunter was possibly after a Derbi gpr. Just wasted to warn him of their recall!
