Jumped on mylaps on the Monday to see how everyone went. Saw 1st F3 race was split and you hadn't scored in the restart. Took me a moment to put two and two together that it was YOU that had come to grief.
Well done on the results for the other races and good lap times.
Keep the ZXR's at the front

Yes it did... and you thought i was making it up when I said the brakes may have been applied inverted!

Reminds me....

CHANGE THE CLIP-ON BOLTS!!!!!!!

Also, if you are in doing your tappet clearances then might as well check-torque the head bolts.
Come and borrow the wrenches anytime you like.

Go the RNZAF

If the bad guys ever invade us and challenge us to a bike race, we've got them fucked. Especially if it's a crashing contest

What is it they say " any landing you walk away from is a good landing ..any landing you that you can use the aircraft again is a great landing"

Who crashes in that spot ? !!!!
Come to think of it I once saw Dallas Rankine get off there on a Duc, but over the years I can only recall a couple ? Did something break or was is a puncture ? Gaz.

Umm, there have been quite a few over the last couple of meetings... Quite a few.
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.

Nothing broke before the accident, and the only thing broken was the screen... and Neils Glove...
All the rest was cosmetic, or straightened with a 12" Adjustable spanner.... Lee (Team Mate) had never seen one used the way I did.

Yes, and there is some cosmetic damage to Neils hand too...
