(Disclaimer, please note the following was approved to be posted by the Teff ,after continuous harassment due to his injury's caused by an attempt to get closer to nature,
his typing wrist  is a bit sore but ,i think that was from a previous repetitive strain injury from polishing something to much )
(Please note The above statement was witnessed by Dez/Two Dogs JP)

At the reluctance of elevating Teff to celebrity status ,i agreed to post up some pictures after continuous beggin, and harassment  

On sundays weekend coffee ride to Wiseys just north of the ferry Teffs MV Augusta (will now be known as the Widow maker) suffered a catastrophic rear wheel bearing hub failure.
Fortunately Teff suspected something was up ,and reduced speed only to come off on a rather wet gravel strewn corner at a a low speed in front of Dez.

Teffs immediate recaction was to save his beloved MV, and in an heroic act of self sacrifice stayed under the bike as it hit the road to minimise the damage.skin and bone grow back
Teffs heroic act worked,with the result of  very minimul damage  











Teff shedding a tear for his beloved MV




Teff Soldiered on  in to the sunset to take the lead home, and do a lap of the old road buggered bike and all

Hoppa long Teff

crap! glad you are OK Brian. I shat when I read the thread title.

Good  to see your alright. nothing to serious I hope

Bright side
Finally get to take that huge MV sticker off

Lucky then you didn't go to EC the other week...

Teff, you stupid bugger, how many times have you been told bikes MV's are no good for you and they will end up blah, blah, blah, drone, drone, blah and drone.


Fair Dinkum your a soft cock, take a spoonful of concrete Teff and harden the make the beast with two backs up. 





                                       Mmick (get well soon buddy)

I imagine there would have been far more sympathy if Brian had of crashed his other (clearly classier) steed. But then again, the s4r wouldn't have suffered mechanical failures now would it?

+1 

Problem was Rob S  this







Way too small, these........the main problem


Ballbearings were found in the brake caliper too......everything to do with the hub was affected.....a major design flaw, known by everyone........except MV heirachy.......cough cough    

So what you're saying here is that the problem isn't so much an inability to ride the bike as an inability to maintain it?

Seriously though I'm glad you weren't badly hurt, and that the bike also wasn't badly hurt.

That'll buff right out.

(I can't believe nobody has said it yet!)

If you watch the youtube video a similar quote at the end is mentioned 

Shit Brian glad your Ok! Bike look like it held up well except for the expensive hub damage.

For you reference I dropped into Trooper Lu's Garage in Liverpool about a month ago where the owner said go for a 2011 bike as they have fixed the rear hub failure issue! Brian you may want to follow that up as I believe they have alot to do with the imports of MV.

The quote with regard to the "cough cough we don't know anything about this issue" sounds very typical of Harley Davidson! I have had aquaintences with the same issue when it came to their Buells.

Take care Brian and heal well and I will see you at the Concourse on the 18th

Back in action Rob
