    Ouchie!!
    Actually I think he mentions in his book that Honda wanted to put on super light (and Weak) handlebars. Not easy to pick up a bike after a fall and ride it again if the clippons broken. Unfortunate accident.

    If I remember the book right Hoda did put on the uper light clip ons that broke if you looked at them the wrong way. It lasted a couple of meetings and then Aaron put the heavier ones back on without telling anyone that cared.

    Nice slide though.

    For the record Qkkid was in my bed, not the other way round

    Cheers sir!

    However, I am in serious awe at the talent and/or luck this guy displayed...Maybe had some experience with being a monkey on a sidecar?

    That was a good example of "Never give up!". Also got to be the longest sequence of front wheel slides/pushes I've ever seen too!

    Speaking of the Slight book, does anyone know where I could buy a copy? I've looked for it on the internet, but no luck, and I couldn't find it in the NZ bookshops last time I was there.
    Anyone?
    Thanks
    Cheers
    Barry
    PS good save, that man!

    Glad I took a couple of minutes to look at it- I used to love watching the GP Crash video's, the fact that 90 Odd % servived them, impressed the shit out of me
