Do you ever get the feeling somethings going to happen but ignore it then low and behold shit happens....
Did the Pukekohe open test day today and even driving there I didn't feel in a riding mood but I was due to meet some of my sponsors there for the day so I drove on.
Arrived at the track before the guys i was meeting and went out for the first session just to 'warm up'
Did a few laps and saw the fresh new surface at the hairpin that feel lovely and smooth on the race line.
Four laps in and only running track day pace I got to the hairpin behind a guy on a GSXR1000 and with the speed differential i just thought I'd ride around the outside as I've done on so many Pukekohe track days.
Seems the new surface was not keen on my idea and i lost the front.....:argh:
Bike has smacked itself quite hard on the kerb and boy am I a pissed off bunny!!!!!
I so wish I'd just gone to work today........
