Reason for track day get off

Think youve had a stroke o luck there bud, not too many lampposts on t'track, :roll cars neither:doug

I wouldnt use them just coz thats where u got it.......Ask about in your area .... youll soon find out which are not worth trying......:thumbup

Ring the dealer and say what happened nothing to lose, if they get aresoley about it then procede to Citizens advice.

I had the nearly same thing happen to me!!

Guy i bought my bike from had used some long bolts to attach the fairing backet to the headstock. Unfortunately he hadnt used nuts with it!!

The bolts gradually worked loose and poked out so far, they stopped the forks from turning, just as i was turning into a mini round about.

Just pleased i was only going slow, but the feeling of not being able to steer was fooking horrible.

I feel you pain!!!!

How long ago did you buy the bike?

TBH I doubt any PDI would have found that so you can hardly blame them.
The question I always ask myself is "Would I have found that?"
If the answer is yes I make the phone call.

there could be a definit question of "fit for purpose" for the repairs and it appears they are not. Its a race bike, its built for trackdays. The repairs have to be up to a standard to allow the bike to continue its role of which, this obviously wasn't. They have a phone number you can call and are very helpfull.

The problem here is that you have to raise it with the dealer who then probably needs to give the original repairer a chance to repair it (the dealer would probably need to raise his own claim against that person) ... at least this is how I see it happening.





Speak to CAB quickly and speak to them about the 1984 Sales of Goods Act - which btw, also applies to second hand purchases even through private sales.
