    Jase just re-reading this mate and i think you've miss read what i said..

    I said, "not entirely sure why". Meaning i don't really know why i came off, could have been compression, tyres to cold, not correctly scrubbed in, pressure to low or as you put it, lack of talent.

    Me saying "crashing is just slowness leaving the body, bike and mind" wasn't and excuse, this is cause and effect. I fell off so i get up and try harder to go faster, cause and effect. Im not experienced enough to pinpoint what caused my off so if its shear lack of talent then I'm more than happy to admit that as a beginner i have very little talent:)

    Nope it was my slowness leaving me
    Normally when I come off its because I ran out of my limited talent -Simples :D

    Ah crap, not good, but it is one of those things that happens on trackdays and when racing. Main thing is that you are ok and the bike was still useable for the remaining sessions. As for baldness, nowt wrong with that. Baldness is just hair leaving the body and appearing in other places for weird and unknown reasons.

    Matt I'd be gob smacked if 1 click of comp made you crash! Pressures seem low also but was fine to that point? Ignor us taking piss and saying you ran out of talent, we all have lol....

    IMO I think it's likely a combination of all those, combined with temps at this time of year and a lack of experience.... But all part of the lurning curve which hopefully will make ya a faster safer rider.

    Don't read to much into it, shit happens move on.

    I've found the limit on wets, asked too much of the front in the dry infront of a load of dudes on here in a race going for glory for no reason, grabbed a fistful on wet grass and pushed my luck on a old tyre when I knew I was pushing too hard...

    Guess what - each time I crashed!!! But I believe if you try to dissect it too much you don't learn anything, it's never a pin point thing.

    Just build on it and crack on next time otherwise it'll just be on ya mind and do your head in ;)

    I'm far from a complete rider.... Got miles to go from where I want to be, just ahead of you in the mistakes experience lol

    But main thing is dude you keep ya chin up and keep having fun.

    Oh and don't bother fixing the bike just yet lol
