Just had the Speed Triple serviced by the excellent fellas at Tri-Moto, wasn’t 100 metres down the road when I highsided and got flipped off. I came out of a corner doing no more the 10-15 mph and the rear tyre just let go, no warning whatsoever. There are a lot of trucks and buses that use that road, so I’m pretty certain I hit a patch of diesel. The crash bung and bar end took most of the brunt as the bike slid down the road, but unfortunately it also holed the alternator cover (again!), snapped the clutch lever and ground away a good bit of the rear spindle. Bugger.
Bike’s back at Tri-Moto, who were fantastic and gave it a good checking over. Apart from a few bumps and bruises I’m ok. Adz - I sympathise with you mate!!
AARRRGGGHHHH ********. I had that happen in June around Parliament Sq. Bike was okay thanks to crash bungs. The guys at TriMoto are great, Les and Jason do a cracking good job every time and go out of their way to make sure things are right. Glad you got off reasonably lightly and hope your bike gets sorted quickly.
Must have been pretty awful to have to wheel it back to the guys after you’d just taken it away. As offs go though I guess you came out on top. You can tick that off now and not have another one for a few years.
gws bikie :crying:
