Sorry to hear that news Zacster. With some up hills come some down hills and valleys. Better luck next time.
Never think for one second that everything is checked! Before it leaves the garage, my oil level gets checked, air pressure, coolant level, and last but not least gas.
Then as some have found out the hard way, helmet, boots, goggles and gloves. Ready to go riding then. . .
Would have hated to have that happen out near the goat trail huh???
