    My crash at Meremere, 3 November



    Wasn't braking much harder than I had for the previous 20 odd runs of the day. Brakes did feel extremely faded though, track marshal said it may have been the front slowly losing grip over time.
    You can hear it lock at some stage during the video.

    Now all you experts can tell me what I did wrong

    I would be more concerned about the motor running on its side.

    Well all I can tell from that video is that the front tucked, and you fell off. But I suspect you are already knew that.

    By the way your oil light is on.

    For the record Qkkid was in my bed, not the other way round

    You didn't die in a fiery ball of hell, cunt. Waste of video.
    For a man is a slave to whatever has mastered him. Keep an open mind, just dont let your brains fall out.

    42PSI. Had done a run no more than 5 mins prior which lead me to believe that the brake fluid may have boiled (expert advice needed). Tyre should have been warmish, its not worn either

    Did you have the front strapped down? Front end seems to jar a lot prior.
