The bike was on the road for less than a month before its off again!

I think ive cursed my storm, anybody else feel this way?

What's wrong?

Mine started to f about again and it was just the neutral switch malfunctioning - went out for a 120 mile ride yesterday and was grinning all the way with the sound and torque - I think I've forgiven her again. Did miss the obscene speed of the GSXR1000 I tried though - but I'm still alive!

Well its the engine mounting lugs that have snapped with no chance of welding them back together! new engine time!

must be the un supported weight of the engine with no cradle to support it then, design error

Id say its not ment to take the abuse and stresses resulting from wheelies!
hardly a design fault!

Me too, i think the abuse this bike gets proberlly explains why it keeps breaking! Maybe i should treat her a little more gently!
