No more 748 for me!

**manuboy** · 25th January 2006, 08:33

That was a pretty spectacular off for sure... glad Jay was alright.

Up till then the 748 was the only decent sounding machine out there!

Must be something to see ya bike upside down 6 feet off the ground.

Should have said.. It wasnt me racing the bike. It was young Jay Lawrence (sp). Hes ok, a bit sore from what ive heard, but ok.
Hes gonna be coming into work tommorrow to strip it down, so we can get started on it. The engine seems to have taken in a bit of Gravel, so we are going to have to strip the whole motor down. And clean it all out.
Got it at work today, had a good look over the whole thing. Doesnt look as bad as we first thought, so heres hoping!

From what I know, Karl Morgan brake checked Jay on the corner. Jay tried to go round the outside, but thinks his brake lever hit Karls bike and he lost the front. Slid into the gravel and the bike flipped.

Hey.. Thats racing, Shit happens. Nothing you can do about it, so we will move onwards and upwards from here.

Faaaarrrrkkk..... i just finished reading up about the GP5. Jah-ueeees-zoos. I don't think i could actually get a lap done on that thing without canning it. 1:1 power-weight. 334km/h???? On an FI map set to conserve fuel!!!!

Didn't know Ducati had it in them... shame on me.

Unfortunately also goes to show the quickest bike isn't the same as the easiest bike to ride hard...
