Yikes, that's a tale I wouldn't want to experience. Especially since ~60% of the freeways around the city are all construction right now. What was up with the fairing, though? Did anything rip or did your bolts just rattle loose and fall out? And are there not very many holding the 600RR fairings on? My F4i has a good 7 contact points.

Sounds like you're being sabotaged. Any angry Ex's floating about?

I can only assume that the screws holding them on just got loose over time. I always check tire pressure and the chain b4 every ride everything was fine before the ride. Didn't think I had to check every crew on the bike b4 I went out ;P

Which leads me to believe they stripped right out but they look mint like nothing happened I dont really know but I havent looked at it.
