Anothe rfork Stanchin thread but a question this time

[RedRick Esq.]

what would be the result of the stanchions giving way whilst riding on the road

Hypothetical scenario
50 mph left hander over slight crest into another 50 mph right hander tipped in and at that point the stanchions fail what would the result be ?

Is it possible that the result would be the front end dropping so that ground clearance is lost, stand or peg digging in, rear lifting to the point of no traction/grip resulting in a slide down the road ?

Just wondering

Edit

Bloody keyboard needs a battery in it can a mod sort the title out please

The result would be a trip to A&E probably by air ambulance

Or a road closure why the cause of your death is investigated

My bets would be on a resultant slide (as the bike is already tipped), which will be easier to manage. The challenge of managing it is when it fails when you're upright. Nothing you can do at that stage. The next set of results could be variable i.e: if you slideinto soft mud, then all good. Into oncoming traffic then possible the three mentioned above.

the result would be total loss of steering and control......closely followed by crashing

A rather large bill from the person whose hedge you have just crashed through

It would almost certainly hurt. Probably a lot.
