    Ian, if you drop it, what you do, call a crane or a backhoe and bury it?
    I all ways wondered how much can cost the damage dropping one at 50 kph or even less.

    The general idea is not to drop them Arthur.
    I came off at 100 kph a few years back, after a dog took the front wheel out. Bike went down, I came off, bike stood up and carried on for 800 metres before hitting the armco and end for ending into a (dry fortunately) creek. My mates went and retrieved it in the daylight, took some finding apparently and it only suffered minor damage to the luggage rack.
    If you don't like trucks, stop buying stuff.

    I know Ian, at my age I do not bounce any more if I land on the road, I just stack there and a spade will be required to lift me from the ground
