My son has an R1 Anniversary Edition and I dread it every time he’s out on it.

Last year he was supposed to drop us off at the airport but delegated this task to our younger son.
At the time he should have been picking us up at home he was lying by the roadside after crawling about 50 yds. through rough terrain and a ditch. He mis judged the length of road between two corners and simply washed out.

He was extremely lucky with just bruises and his bike, although insurers wanted to write it off was back repaired by my son within weeks.
It needed a full set of exterior trim which the lucky NAUGHTY WORD-NAUGHTY WORD-NAUGHTY WORD- purchased new off eBay from someone making an R1 into race trim so didn’t require the road trim

I hope he learned a lesson
