I wear a full jacket, long trousers, boots, full face helment, every time I ride. I'm 52, and have been riding since I was 16. I have see other people that have gone down, wearing what it takes to stay cool during the hot days, and I don't want to look like them the rest of my life.

More like, all those bolts were loose and sheared off under load and vibration. The subframe is mild steel tubing so isn't all that brittle. If you saw the superbike race at VIR a couple weeks ago, you most likely saw Yates swerve off track to avoid hitting Kurtis Roberts. Yates pushed his bike back into the pits where they put new body work on it, and straightened his twisted subframe with a breaker bar. That was nothing short of amazing... especially considering he went on to get 3rd... Having a "stressed" subframe is probably the last thing you need to worry about on this bike. Mine is stressed whenever I ride it, especially with 230lbs of me bouncing up and down on it off-road Z DC
