    We are looking at the Exit of Castrol you realise? The camera angle might mean you think it is somewhere else?
    Anybody who adds another 20 odd HP to the mix mid corner will come to grief there...... In fact that actually goes for any corner.
    I thought he was exciting splash and flopping to the right heading to the hairpin ? I forget the names !
    Anyhow, doing it there you'd have to be a bit hamfisted or have a mechanical problem I would have thought ? Gaz.

    Can happen very easily to anyone on that part of the track.

    Im thinking that the flip flop manoeuvre should involve the bike doing both movements but I seem to remember you were the flipper.
    I convinced Suzanne that your type of accident normally occurs when the front forks need emulators and linear springs.
    She insisted I send mine to Robert Taylor for a little rebuild.

    You are far more aggressive than me through there... I guess that is why i just swing the hammers

    I actually thought it was while you were still over on the left knee and ...
    Well, it all happened REALLY fast.

    At the end of the day you were asking too much of the bike... things it can't do.... I know you know this, just putting it out there so others realise...

    Mossy has the right idea...... Yup... blame the old suspension so the Minister of finance will approve funding for better kit

    If you do it again i will blame the back end and get a ohlins ya828 out of it.
    To be honest id rather watch you winning races Neil.
    I find myself drawn to watching F3 after that effort of yours on long track round 2.Your racing on the edge of the bike limits and its awesome to watch.

    Anyways how you gunna take the mighty fzr down if your in front.
    Im not keen on getting laped so dont go to fast.
    Bonus would be in a 5 lap race if you do ill save 20% in tyre wear.
