Front wheel lock-up
#8
> a bad wheel bearing won't cause this - I have ridden my busa for almost a year with bad wheel bearings. when I changed them I had almost 1\2 inch play in the wheels.

> no amount of a stick or metal object thrown in the wheel will cause this - it's been proven on one of the discovery channel show

> interestingly the only thing that's quite possible is that his fork lug ( which holds the front wheel rod) broke or cracked locking the wheel, hence the crash. this is a known issue on few of the beemers.
I have a artical in one of the mag (not local I think) talking about the problem - btw what was the model of the bike

cheers
Bill
