Any story behind the pic to explain the damage?

I secretly want one too, but not that one.

Drop of araldite & some gaffer tape 'll soon have that up & running again :( :) :lol: :cheer: :laugh: :woohoo: :sick:
Must be most annoying when the main chasis member that connects the back wheel to the rest of the bike snaps in half.
Time they went back to the steel tubes they used to use........never heard of it happening to them.

An Adventure is not a tank transfer.
