Well my EBR experience has turned into a short one. Yesterday on my way home going around a bend the bike slid out from under me with no idea what happened, all I remember thinking is why am I sliding on pavement. Upon examining the the bike the rear wheel was completely mangled, only thing I can think is the wheel somehow shattered while in that turn (the wheel not the tire), a turn that I've taken many times before. I walked away from with only some minor road rash on my hip, I cannot stress enough how important it is to wear protective gear when riding, it's saved my ass twice now. No idea what will be happening to the bike as of yet. But for now the ol buell XB will be coming back out.
Has anyone else had a issue with the rear wheel or did I possibly just get lucky to get a bad one?
