    No more 748 for me!

    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.

    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
    aj


    what a ride so far!!!!
