So the bike was parked for the winter in my apartment block. Roofed garage and I had the bike covered but there was no way to prevent access to any ass clown who wanted to mess with it. (Even the security camera directly on top of it could not do that).
Last week my bike was transported to my mechanic on a flatbed because it was refusing to start. (Long story maybe I will share another time).
My mechanic told me that all the screws that were holding the forks to the triple trees were gone!!! All 8 of them!. Now I can understand that one MAY fall off, but all 8 of them?
My mechanic replaced them and also changed a gasket and started the bike and gave me a call to pick the bike up. When I picked it up I took it for a spin, pressed on the rear brakes and NOTHING. Rear brake line was unscrewed! Almost hit a wall but good thing I was not speeding. Couple of turns of the wrench and problem was fixed BUT I cannot help but wonder...I do not understand how these screws were well undone! Sabotage?
