No more 748 for me!

**Sparky Bills** · 24th January 2006, 19:16

You heard right. Im probably not going to be able to race the 748 again.
If you were at the Ruapuna Nationals, you'll know why.

Lets just say...
CRASH!!! Pretty much everything is broken! Even the frame.:spudgrr:

Looks like ill be a spectator at the Paeroa street races. As much as i REALLY REALLY want to race, I just dont think ill have a bike in time.
Ill try to get some pics up as soon as i take some.

IM SO GUTTED!
But we seem to have a few plans up our sleeves, so will see how we go.

Didn't see the crash but saw the bike afterwards as they were opposite us in the pits and it wasn't looking to flash

Scrounge something up or knock one off the showroom floor

Yeah saw the crash happen from the spectator bank, saw a big puff of smoke. Apparantly jay touched karl morgan (i think it was him) and then tucked the front end going into the infeild sweeper. Bike must have cart-wheeled, dang.

it wasn't him, just the bike he was going to ride at paeroa and the bike he did ride at wangas.

bugger matey!!
you must have VERY understanding sponsors!

want to use the turbo?
i need a new fairing..and WHEN you crash it, your sponsor can fix/replace it for me

but then again i'm sure mud boy's bike might be a better bet ( he cannot use it for 5 weeks....) DT175... no? why, tooo big?

we could paint it yellow for ya.. it's been crash tested... and lived
