I wanted to thank members "Gurdy" and "08 America" for the parts they helped me with to fix my wrecked bike
I was susprised on how little damage was done at going around 10 MPH
The Pegs stick out enough (Front and rear) to take most of the impact
No damage to the seat,gas tank,rear fender, or front end
other than a scuff on the front fender tip
I did have to replace the right Front and rear turn signal,mirror and the front brake handle
and bend the rear break pedal a little
Does Triumph do "Drop" test on there bikes?

No, they leave that up to us! Most of us are quite obliging in that regard. 
We all like to think of ourselves as rugged individualists. But when push comes to shove most of us are sheep who do what we are told. Worst of all, a lot of us become unpaid agents of whoever is controlling the agenda by enforcing the current dogma on the few rugged individualists who actually exist.

Ain't that the truth!

I'm the "official", "deer impact and abrasion" tester for Triumph. I do impact tests on the windshield, forks and wheels, extensive testing on headlight visability and emergency deer braking, as well as the washability for genuine Triumph undershorts. They don't pay me much, but the thrills are neverending!
