The Kwaka was pulled from the rubble today. This is all that is left (exhaust hidden in pic)



Sorry.. I'm not sure that's going to polish out. :(

Brake disk might be OK after a rub down... could be warped, though. :-\

The part just to the right of the disc is all that remains of the front wheel.  Other front disc is there, must have picked a pic before I found the last disc.

That's the the front wheel spindle. So everything between the disc and spindle has melted. Both steel parts. All the alloy gone. (As you said somewhere, can't remember where)

Good lord!

The calipers are in that pile somewhere.

But ali stuff, all gone. As are the plastics, as you'd expect.

I'm still a bit in awe of how little is left, and I'm not just talking about the bike.

Calliper carrier/slider pins are bottom left.


As far as I was concerned that garage was FULL. With just room to walk down the middle.

I find what little is left gob smacking tbh. Really. :o

At least the two most important items are still around, yourself and Sue!
Is the bike covered under the 'extended Omega warranty scheme'? I'll see if I can find my cheque book  ::)
