Hi All, Set off for our first outing this year last week. Picked up van from our storage place and drove about 40 miles to our favourite CL in East Sussex. Went over the most numerous and deep potholes I've ever seen. Slowed down for most of course, but some you just can't see. Arrived on site, immediately spotted the lack of nearside front window from our Sprite Major. Just gone!! It was there when we left storage, but in between had vanished. I can only put it down to the multiple pot holes on our journey. Ordered a replacement, 28 days delivery!! 🥵 Thankfully, on our site one of the regulars there fitted a temporary weatherproof replacement. Just be careful and try to avoid the dreaded potholes. I dread to think of the danger to motorcyclists.

i doubt the pot holes where solely responsible, more likely that the handles wherent quiet in the right place and vibrated so the window would open. we have some florescent tape on ours so that its very clear if the handles arent in the locked position

Probably the potholes tipped it over the edge, but something could have been underlying.
