I purchased my bike a 2011 bmw g650 gs with 7 miles on it. It is an enduro motorcycle and I was riding it on a straight away going approx 20-30 MPH. Next thing I knew I was down. There is nothing more to say than that since it all happened so fast. When I finally got a good look at my bike - the right hand fork failed or broke near the bottom. I believe that this fork failure is what caused my accident. After reading and searching more information on the internet I see this is not the first time it has been reported. Please refer to # pe09026 - which is the earlier preliminary investigation conducted by the federal safety agency. Updated 07/08/11 *bf updated 08/19/11
