      Brake fluid either boiled over today or I suffed some sort of extreme brake fade followed by a sudden lock up.
      Been over the video a few times and can't figure out what went wrong. Bike is in good shape apart from the plastics. I rode it home.

      Reibz I think your Hayabusa was just a little intimidated at the sight of so many quick Kawasakis. Post it up bud & collectively the experts here at KB will get to the bottom of it for you.

      Yeah Kev,

      She made it home no sweat. Felt like a slow ride though after going so fast all day. I will assess the damages tomorrow but it all looks ok and she still rides the same.

      looking at that vid when it went bad it seems it went as well as it could, no horrible flips and looks like it just grazed the wall.

      certainly looks like the front end locks from the video. glad your all good.

      Na left the Z1000 cosy in the pits. Was a good event to watch. I'll get on the track next year (with new front rotors and pads). Still working on getting the bike how I want it, running low on $ and time lately.
