Never missed a beat, never given me cause for concern, always reliable. Haven't ever crashed this one (oh well, that's buggered it! :lol ), but it fell off its stand once when I forgot to put it in gear when I parked it at a viewpoint in the Pyrenees. Minor scratches and scrapes and a slightly bent handlebar only thankfully.
I had a DEAUVILLE once, (yes,I know
and the very afternoon I sold it I put it on the drive and manouvered it to make it look good and the camber on the drive made it come off the stand and fell into a wall ! you wouldn't believe the damage it did! only cosmetic but I had to knock £100 off the price and there wasn't a lot in it to start with.I just couldn't stand the thought of repairing it,I just wanted to see the back of it. :\
never look down on anyone unless you're helping them up.
