But one without a death or even an injury.
Yes, it was mentioned that no injuries or fatalities have come from it - I do like prevention rather than cure!

A pain in the backside but like you say better knowing about it than being out and it fails! Glad no one's been injured and hope they can sort it out quickly for you
Yes! I am glad they discovered it now and not next year when I have duathlons planned! I just hope it gets fixed quickly....well...by May at least![]()
Never a convenient time to have your bike recalled but I bet your glad it hasn't happened before the duathlons! Hope they can get everyone sorted out quickly![]()
Yes, I have had particular bad luck with this bike, lets hope for some compensation as that can go towards my new tyres!
I fell off mine at some speed. I still have the scars....not actually sure if any Viscount owners actually suffered
"Get the ****in' bus" or some polite version would be the response. They aren't responsible for your consequential losses.Compo would be entirely appropriate. If your car gets recalled and they say "you mustn't drive it but we can't exactly tell you when we will have the replacement bit for it", for sure they're going to have to compensate. I'd be going in all guns blazing....telling them it's my commuter bike and how am I supposed to get to work now???
I get what you mean but that isn't want compensation means. You'd need to demonstrate/evidence you'd suffered a loss, are out of pocket, and only then would they compensate you for that lost and no more. So you can't end up ahead of the game if you are honest.Yes, I have had particular bad luck with this bike, lets hope for some compensation as that can go towards my new tyres!
Due to fork failure?I fell off mine at some speed. I still have the scars....

1979, pre-loved Viscount from early- mid- 70's that the Aged P bought from a bloke he worked with as an 18th b'day present iirc. I only found out about the so-called "death fork" years later. I don't remember much about the off. Barrelling along on a SC road, woke up beside said SC road, when I went to collect the bike days later it was a wreck and the forks were broken... I pretty much gave up cycling at that point, not entirely coincidentally and concentrated on playing Rugby.Due to fork failure?
I think I have the Yamaha replacement.not actually sure if any Viscount owners actually suffered
