Disaster Strikes, Epic Adventure Aborted

So there I am:

Helmet - Check, Goggles - Check, Big Chunky MX Boots - Check, Bumbag with map - Check.

All ready and prepared for a hardcore epic off-road adventure in the wilderness miles from civilisation and home to all kinds of dangers.

jungle

*Reality Check: Actually 50 miles or so of gentle green laning in the Derbyshire Peak District

Fearing for my life and wondering what fate had in store for me, but brave enough to continue anyway, I adjusted my googles and mounted my trusty steed.

Which is when the rear suspension collapsed down to the stop.

Being only 5 days old and with 62 miles on the clock the Kawasaki RAC people came out to have a look (thumbs up - 20 minutes!) and declared it would need to go into the dealer for a new shock under warranty. That destroys todays plans Sad

It’s been said that I carry a few extra pounds, but surely not enough to destroy the rear shock of a trail bike just by sitting on it ! I just hope they get it sorted soon.
