[/quote]exactly the same thing happened to my hub in France, mine too was an original GP hub,
I just thought my pillion was a fat f@@ker, or he had packed too much stuff causing the scooter to be all over the place,
I didnt find the broken flange untill I took the hub off to change the oil seal a week after we got back,
its only just occurred to me that he's maybe not a fat fucka and his packing was exemplary
O.M.G.....i do remember working out the combined weight of scooter with rider + gear being around about a quarter of a ton
and i was only 11 stone of that..honest..so who was the fatty on board i wonder
