Subject: Need info before buying another one


Hi all,

I bought an @ last november, and was happy with it. Last week however, a strong effort on my breaks on a wet spot on the highway sent me to the hospital and my @ to the garage. Having discussed with the repairmen, the price to repair it might be around the price of a new Transalp. Taking into account that all my equipment (helmet, boots, jacquet, pants) did their protective role but are totally worn out, that's also some money.

I know that question has been asked here before, but I would like (maybe in bilateral e-mail to avoid bothering others) the advice of someone(s) that can really compare the @ and the Transalp (acceleratiom, handling, ease of manipulation, etc.).

Keep on riding while you can. I should be back on wheel within 4 weeks (the doctors said).

By the way, the breaks of the @ ARE very strong !
