Maybe we should re torque every safety critical bolt as part of our pre-ride checks...

Japanese bikes do not seem to have the same problems?
 
Well just in case, easier to see now if bolt caliper has loosened, quick look job done, simple paint marker, I aint no artist.

Have you done the front calipers too?

Nope I cannot see how them bolts can come out, without noticing, as I have a roadlok so see the front bolts quite often and easily, but when the tamper paint arrives, why not, bikes name will be mr Blobby............bnige

Make sure that you 'blob' every single spoke adjuster too as they can come loose and cause you to crash and die;)
 
And at the same time can someone explain how to ‘wire’ round bolts ?

Explain a little more, where did you see that.

I read it on the internet so where so it must be true - also check you handle bar bolts they can come loose too, oh and the rear carrier bolts they are always working themselves lose and your top box could fall of and get tangled into your wheel and...... and.......and....... loads of other stuff too, better to be safe.

Dunno, but guess you drill a couple of holes through the head - do a Google search and you will see plenty of pics.

OK check your castings because there was some evidence that they are dodgy too.
