Do you know Kyle who is winning Bemsee? He's doing some crazy fast times on his new R1. Unfortunately a snapped chain put a hole in his engine yesterday.
Mate of mine did more than a race on wets when it was mostly dry at the start, dry by the end. Depends on it you are Dovi or Dobby lol
Dry rear wet front this sesh was still a bit wet, dried fast though as the wind was howling, stuck dry back on for next session
So I had a crash yesterday at Silverstone. To be honest if I was going to choose a crash, it would have been this one. It was on the slowest part of the track, a gentle low side and the bike came out relatively ok. Guessing it was a cold left-hand side of the tyre and too much lean angle that caused it. Scratched fairings, bent rear set, damaged peg and broken side stand was the damage. Panels are already in the paint shop being fixed ready for my trip to Cartagena next month.
I know that you will have dissected that video a thousand times to try and see what happened, but there just doesn't appear to be anything obvious Like we were saying yesterday, I'd guess at a combination of cold track & new tyres There's no sudden increase in throttle noise or the sound of trailing the brake a bit too much like you normally see in 'what happened here' type videos. At least it'll be all painted up and good to go again ready for Cartagena Donington was a nightmare today. So many racers standing each other up and crashing on a cold track. I spent more time sat in the pits under red flags than I did on the track
That's too nice a bike for that crashing lark. It was only the other week I was showing your bike to a few mates. Drool! Glad to see you're getting it sorted right away and getting back on track! Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
This is from last week at Silverstone. Not exactly the best knee down photo ever, but a nice scenic shot and a perfect background for my laptop screen
