I've had mine today, replaced chain and sprockets over the weekend but didn't fully test ride it, got the rear disc a bit mucky so first bend this morning applies rear brake and not a lot happened so had to pull front, wheel slips straight out and I hit the road.

Managed to take most of force on the protector but snapped the gear lever and bracket, bumped knee and wrenched thumb which is now a bit swollen.

Got a bracket from Sprint Manufacturing 2nd hand and ordered a gear lever, was saying to him that I've rode every day over winter on frosty roads, through farmers mud and slippery gravel, not a problem, nice sunny dry morning and I fall off!!!
