Does anyone know how Peter Tanner is ?

What happened to Peter Tanner? Know his bike broke down in the morning, but nothing after that...

I dont want to get involved in a shit slinging match, but im baffled as to why his stuck brake resulted in him passing people. Having had the odd stuck brake myself i have usually found it has the opposite effect. If it was a stuck throttle i would fully understand.
Could someone in the know please afford an explanation as to how it happened ?

He had clipped his footpeg on something during the race, which had bent the holding bolt, and as he does NOT normally use th rear break whilst racing, this was the first time he had used it, and as the peg was loose and the bolt was bent, the break leaver got jammed on causing the issue

Had to laugh.
Sometimes I think bikers are no more onto it than the average car driver.While everybody was using SH 2 like a pack of drones,I was doing 140 kmh (in perfect safety) up the canal roads,along the Miranda back road to Mangatawhiri and over the Bombay back road to the motorway. I saw two cars and about five bikes using the same roads.Some of which should be disgusted that they could not keep up with an "old man's bike" with 45L givi bags attached.So much for shiny sprots bikes

I dont think its got anything to do with whether they have shiny sportsbikes or not, maybe they werent prepared to open the throttle as much as you.

If you believe any sportsbike made in the last 25 years could not keep up with your "old man's bike" doing 140kmph then you honestly should seek help.

Old mans bikes can beat new bikes plenty good!

I think Quasi made it clear in his post Bob that the brake was the cause for the crash...not the overtaking....as I see the vid, it wasn't even overtaking 'at speed' as DocMartin would have you believe...maybe fast for him but in fact it was quite slow for Nick! :-)

Lol. You're a fine one to throw shit at peoples race pace. Your own is laughable. For the record, I seem to remeber Doc Martin giving Nick Cole more than one hiding on track. He's far from a nobody.

And as for crashing because the rear brake jammed, you know this how? Oh that's right, the lever was twisted and jammed when he got back to the pits. Moments after he crashed. Hmmmmm. Couple of grains of salt with that explanation anyone?

For the record, I don't give a fuck whats what but if one racer wants to have a moan about another racers apparent disrespect for flags, good on him. Telling someone to quit bitching simply because they hold an oppinion differing from your own is laughable in itself.

I considered that that may be the case,but each time they raced up behind me on the straights and disappeared behind me through the twisties,I thought it less and less likely.

Ooohh,touchy!
I'm sure it's more about the rider than the bike.
See, buying an R1 or GSXR doesn't get you a free brain transplant from Rossi or Stoner.

Sheesh, thats a tad mean isnt it.

Nick said his brake locked on, it looked like it locked on, so Im picking it did lock on, Im fairly certain he knows how to take that corner faster than most ...........dont you agree, Im also sure he prefers not to go crashing into bales of hay.

whats with some of you guys.

I crashed in practice - Ididn't hit a forklift - I didn't die . I did go back to do a bit of CSI on Tuesday and found a few bits of my bike, worked out where I went, there was another set of marks that went about 50 meters - he must have been going REALLY fast !!!
