Just had a looksee at this chap that survived the front fender coming loose and the bike having a serious prang.

Please check & double check bolts and fittings whether 800 or not!

Saw this last week, thought it had already been posted. As the man says design fault, KTM had it in the early days of the Adventure but changed it to indv lines.
Scary if you ride a lot of rough tracks
Can't beat the yanks for testing everything to the limit

I don't have knobbly tyres but one of my fender bolts has snapped off... need to tape the shit out of it I think :-/
