    yeah thats seems very feasible. i thought it may have had a bike next to it fall on it hard with the bar ends doing the damage, but as you say it looks like a constant rubbing injury

    Nice ride. I've yet to bag a ride on one myself but they sure do get widespread approval from what I've read. Enjoy
    Oh bugger

    Noice and a great choice. There is something about a triple motor that just gives me the giggles every time I fire it up. Enjoy!

    They are very cool bikes. Stupidly easy to wheelie. I enjoyed the brief spin I took on one while I still lived in Auckland.

    Congrats!

    My black Striple will also be parked at Uni next year. If you see me come and say hi don't need a topbox for books though. Backpack is fine.
