IT WAS UNEXPECTED THERE WERE NO OBSTRUCTIONS IN THE ROAD, I WAS JUST RIDING AND NEXT THING I KNOW I'M ROLLING OVER. I GOT UP AND WENT OVER TO MY BIKE AND NOTICED THE TWO WELDS HAD CRACKED AND BROKEN ON BOTH SIDES OF THE FRAME, WHICH WAS ODD BECAUSE THE BIKE JUST SLID ON MY FRAME SLIDERS I HAD INSTALLED WHICH ARE JUST SOFT PLASTIC. THE DAMAGE TO THE BIKE WAS QUITE MINIMAL, MY MIRROR, BRAKE LEVER, BAR END, BRAKE PEDAL, FOOT PEG AND MUFFLER WERE ALL STILL INTACT, BUT BOTH SIDES OR MY FRAME HAD SPLIT RIGHT DOWN THE MIDDLE BETWEEN THE 2 WELDS.
