Re: Tiger damage

There certainly seems to be a lot of damage considering the speed, I never actually got to see the extent of the damage after my off last february that was a 60mph impact and as it turns out wrote the bike off....I understand the rear peg took some impact and bent the subframe, I don't think bolt on...
