Most damage to a new bike in the shortest time possible

[Adrian SnowdenMember]

An unnamed person we know of up here bought a brand new KTM, took it home and before the rubber nipples on the tyres could even get polished the bike is back in the shop for between 2 and 3 thousand dollars worth of repairs. Yes not a single km of speedo wear has occurred- some of the repairs underway
all the plastics and I mean all of the plastics
majority of electrical harnesses and switches
speedo cable/ speedo
hand grips
new seat
header pipe
rego label holder and label
side stand
and no doubt there is more

It wasn’t dropped, nor run over nor hit by lightning.

It was eaten by a bloody great dog that dragged it around the yard eating various bits and bending the rest! And the dog is still alive!

Obviously the dog isn’t a KTM fan :laugh: :laugh:

I’d train my dog to do that to a KTM too. :laugh:

Did he not think to stop the dog when it started or maybe not leave a big arse cranky dog alone with something new.

I’ve got some brand new ymaha plastics they may improve the ktm look

Better still they can have my old [lastics if they put my new ones on my bike :woohoo:

why is he unnamed ………………….is that cause he is that cranky and ready too explode at any moment when this scenario rases its ugly head

no names here,,nothing to see, move along people.. I recon it would have tasted like the dog just licked its arse….

true story, bloody funny,,and because he didnt catch the dog actually doing it he recons he couldnt punish it…..WTF.

This bike was never even ridden on the dirt,, to the shop once and home and then its dog food,,,Normal KTM really….
