You don't want this to happen

[JohnnyBoxer]

This rider came to an abrupt halt

I wonder what happened here

Perhaps picked up a foreign object, that got stuck in the spokes would be a reasonable explanation

Wow! Incredible.

Picked up something and it got stuck in the spokes perhaps

Probably, the rest of the bike looks A1 and fine, perhaps he picked up a bar or stake on the road?

 

[pistole]

they all do that , sir

I've seen this before on a mates chopper, one to many spokey dokes

Haha maybe he bent the mudguard over, grifter style.

Nasty corrosion on the exhaust too, I'd take it back, clearly not fit for purpose......

That's what happens when you put it in Dynamic mode and switch off the traction control

That'll not be a problem for you, you don't have Dynamic.....................maybe you couldn't handle that raw power, so opted for a bike with Rain mode only

.......and cast wheels - so that's one more problem for me not to worry about

Indeed, easier cleaning too........................sorted

 

[madmartin]

Must have come off surely?!

 

[Nutty]

Glad I went with cast wheels now.

Always remember to un-chain your bike before you go for a fast getaway........

Wasn't a similar picture posted sometime in the last year or so of a similar happening on the previous model of GSA. If I remember correctly, didn't the brake caliper come off and trash the spokes?

edit: here's the thread.

Although in this case the caliper still appears to be in place.

Caliper still on that WC so looks like a bar has gone in the wheel . Bet his pants were full !!

 

[JohnnyBoxer]

Brake caliper looks all intact on this one, shame the pads couldn't slow the wheel down though

 

[Steptoe]

He put a lolly stick in the spokes for a more gnarly sound.
But no one told him about the low quality control standards now used by bmw.
