That´s a good thing: it means its broken in already! And/or it means you're really acquinted to it alread!

Anyway, welcome to the pack. The snapped frame is odd though. Bike's might be 'dropped' on earlier occasions?

:shock: Bloody hell :shock:
As Henk said, it must of had a previous seat-tarmac interface!
what part of the frame snapped?

1100s's are really good sport tourer's, depending on your build/age/agility, but then you probably already worked that out for yourself, if you trust her to take you across spain :)

anyhoo, welcome aboard :D

So that's how you break them in, snap the frame in half?

Rear sub frame is prone to snapping at the lugs.
good idea to check after the mildest of drops...
