    Gutted

    Four days old, less than 400ks...
    Total right off...
    I'm insured, but to wait two months for a bike that you destroy on the first weekend out?
    Had a dog run out at me when I was looking at the surf instead of the road, braked hard and did manage to miss it.
    Truly, and totally gutted...
    Backs sore, arse has a nice big bruise on it.
    I know I'm not the first, I would like to be the last that this happens to tho.
    Not a good end to an amazing bike.
    I would recommend them to any one looking at a sports bike though.
    Just the best thing I have ever ridden!

    Anything you walk away from…
    We all have our little obsessions...

    Sorry to hear that. Glad to hear you walked away, able to ride another day. What was the bike? Triumph 675?

    Unbelievable! Sympathies myvice. What a bugger after waiting so long for a new bike. Maybe you would have been better off running over the dog (I'm a dog lover by the way). I had to in London once and he yelped but scuttled off alive and I stayed upright.
    So will you re-join the 675 queue?
    How bad is the bike? A fix-er upper for track days?

    Geez, talk about heartbreak. Good to hear you OK even if a bit sore. Better luck with the next bike.
