Structure · reported Oct 30, 2012
As I was riding in to the harvey tunnel and heard a crack type noise then all a sudden smoke appeared every where. The rear tire was rubbing under the subframe, slowing the bike down. I was able to drag the bike off the road. Look under the motorcycle and the rear suspension had collapsed and the crossmember separated from the frame, all I can see is the shock mount hanging off of the frame on the motorcycle. God was on my side! This problem could have possibly caused a fatal accident.
