Advice after a 'bike drop' off a bike ramp please!
Hi there.
Well I only picked him up last Friday and he went into the garage today for lowering.
The paddock stand buckled and Indy the Street Triple R fell off the bike ramp - not the first adventure I was planning for him! The garage were mortified and are trying to fix him asap - ordering the many parts that need replacing. Crash bungs, bar ends, mirrors, levers, grab rail, screen, swing arm! and many many more bits are being replaced as he landed partly on the tool chest. I would love some advice on what else I should be checking. They say they have checked the frame and it is fine by wheeling the bike up and down!! - is there a way of checking it fully and is there anything else I should be aware of. Cheers Rach

Gutted to hear this :(
Sounds like they are going to go through it thoroughly with not hesitating on replacing everything. Once they've stripped it down no doubt they'll check the frame as the only other 'proper' way is to get it on a jig but often you can visibly see any damage
Hope its all sorted soon

Ouch not good, but looking forward to seeing the bike once it's fixed!
Re: Advice after a 'bike drop' off a bike ramp please!
Oh no! :(
No advice I'm afraid, but lots of sympathy.

How sucky :[
really bad luck but it sounds like they're going to sort it out properly, you'll probably know soon enough after riding it if there are any underlying problems that they missed

Thank you, great to see your replies, its appreciated. Cheers Rach

Was it a new NEW bike?? Doubtful any frame twistage took place TBH as its fall was halted by the toolchest?

Can't believe your bad luck on this Rachel,bike being a minter an all.
I would take someone else along when it's done,two set's of eye's looking over the bike,also I would want to ride it before agreeing it's ok,to check that clock's, gauges, and all bulb's have not been damaged by shock of fall.Don't think frame or fork's would be damage by a fall off ramp's either,but riding it will tell if it ain't right.
