    Rear subframe is goosed, swingarm, top yolk, rearset, clocks, bracket - brake reservoir

    We thought about tilt switch, but it ran / worked at first - also it would 'almost fire' go bang / pop a fair bit

    Still gutted for him mind

    Sorry Al, but I would question his skills as a highly experienced rider considering the location of his crash ie; not even making it onto the circuit!

    Fair play to you all for giving it a go in such bad weather. I noticed the tyres on the poor fella's R1 may not have helped the situation.

    I've never been out on wets, but have ordered some for Cadwell on Oct 28th just in case. I don't mind throwing the track bike down the road, but I'm not keen on throwing myself on to the tarmac, bearing in mind one of the Inters broke his collar bone there on Monday.

    now now,we all crash,and for various reasons(as we both know!!!).experienced or not.

    i'm an experienced rider,on track and road,but my last crash was due to a slight lack in concentration,thats all it takes.

    Same here Scooby, even the RAF accident investigation team use the term "human factors" to describe pilot error.

    Agree his tyres looked terrible cut / tread.

    Also the traction control may have been goosed as it never activated on the day , previous visits it was on a lot.
