Wooooooooooooooot!


Sadly, we had a mishap on route. (We were using a van to transport the bike)

During the journey, the bike fell over. ****.
We are not sure how, but the strapping gave way, and the bike fell over during a turn.

Hearing your bike, which you have owned no more than 10 minutes, go crunch. Crying or Very sad

Damage?
One foot peg snapped.
Mirror snapped.
Dents in end can.
Minor scuffing (easily buffed out)

We got away lucky tbh.

Still, awesome bike.

Gutting Sad

Had you compressed the suspension enough when tieing the bike down with rachets?? If it's not down enough it will 'bounce' out of position over bumps etc.

As far as I know it was.
Not quite sure what happend there, either it wasnt tight down enough or the rachet wasnt secured.

Still, shit happens, at least the damage was minimal. Smile

When I got my bike I sat in the back with it the whole way (2 hours) home. Laughing And it was already a scruffy git!

Very nice bike though, like the lime green ones.
