Just in case the haters are running out of fuel I'm also going to confess to being, as well as happy with my unbroken Following, a middle aged wheels on ground IT bloke who lives in the Surrey Hills and probably couldn't tell one boinger from another in a blind test. There is a BWM in the family, tho it's not mine, and I do fail in that I don't and have never owned an Orange 5.

Cards on the table I say.

Lay it on lads, I can take it.

Not sure anyone is hating.... just shock/disappointment that a brand with such a terrible history is still producing flaky product and not doing right by their customers. The bikes look great, and by all accounts ride brilliantly. But as long as they fail to back their product with decent support, they're not a risk I could see myself taking. Hope you get to enjoy your bike and don't end up in that position.

No Audi.

Just sold my Ford Capri - is that a step back or forwards.

people who I respect who have ridden say it stands head and shoulders above other bikes

Pretty subjective shirley? What's meant to be so magical about it (genuine question)?

An evil ride out could be good, I bet you could get a carbon repair company to sponsor it 😉

mattjg - yep we should def do it. I know of one other Following too, so there'd be a trio! BMW here too, although technically it's an Alpina - does that count?

I think it just goes to show how a legacy of failed bike designs and manufacturing faults + terrible customer service can tarnish a brand
