Safely home

If your bike has passed the test at the accident site without any faults, you can ride back carefully. Avoid accelerating and braking hard and do not pedal in a cradle position. If you have any doubts about the suitability of your bike, it is better to look for an alternative way home.

Aftercare

When you get home, the bike must be thoroughly inspected again. Be sure to replace any damaged parts. It is best to ask your specialist dealer for advice.
