Hi - Still a stranger here but have had my Triumph America for a few months now.
Last night I had my first off... at around 10 mph!!
Just set off and started going down a steep hill, really don't know what happened but the rear wheel decided it wanted to lead for a change!!
The bike seemed to go away from under me but fortunately I did not come into contact with the tarmac.
After an inspection by streetlight the chrome cover on the short cut exhaust took most of the damage and the kickstand appears to be catching something!!
Hopefully I can get someone to beat the chrome cover back into shape rather than buying something new... can these be bought separate from the exhaust?
Felt a right idiot as the people in the house nearby came out after hearing the screeching of metal against tarmac!
Hopefully when I look at it in daylight there is no other damage!
Jazz
