just had an off

on way to work this morning, was just going round a corner and the bike just went down. not sure why, but i think the front brake might have seized. it was a bit stiff yesterday morning but was ok at the end of the day. anyhoo, the result of all this is that I've broke my thumb in 3 places. tis a bit sore. otherwise I'm ok and the bike looks like it'll just need a new brake lever and indcator (plus possibly getting the brakes looked at!)

sorry to hear about the off...

hope you and the bike heal ok!

Glad your ok mate! Your lucky it wasn't worse! How old is your bike because i wouldn't have thought breaks would seize on anything under 6 years old... Unless its just a build up of grime that has cause them to clamp onto the disks.

bikes a 99 curvy, so thats 9 years old. I'm not certain it was defo the brakes like. the bikes just been serviced a month ago so i'd have thought they should have been ok.

could be a build up of grime like, it is badly in need of a wash.

Sorry to hear about your off mate, at least it isn't to bad.

The good news is it doesn't take long for thumbs to heal, and a brake lever and indicator is a cheap repair (which can be repaired with a broken thumb by the way).

Sorry to hear about the off, hope both you and the bike are fighting fit again before to long.

Sorry to hear about that, at least everything that was broken can be repaired in a relatively short time! All the best.

Bummer. Brakes seized on my Hyosung after 2 years...

bugger... thumbs get better quite quick, and bike should be cheap to fix. Good to hear your ok though.
