Ok, thinking about this weekends little off's (glad you are both ok)

I also jogged the memory banks a little, the last few wipe we have seen on what I can really describe as straight roads with a bit of surface sand have all been BMW650GS's.

On the newb run, Zerc bought some real estate, out at Lospersfontein we had Noble Steed doing the same.
This weekend two identical bikes hit some sand and go down.

So the question is, is this a case of the BMW650GS being bought by people who are very new to this or is there something else that could be attributed the high accident rate?
19 inch wheel?
Rake of the 19 inch wheel?
