    Neil was heading up Denny Hulme Straight on the ZX650R and he got over taken by a 600 F2 Bike.
    Just after the bike passed him it proceded to pull in front of him and then hit the picks for Higgins..... Of course Neils braking marker is about 50 metres up the track....
    Not to worry the 600 actuated Neils Brake Lever for him..............

    The rest is history as they say... including the ZX650R's fairing by the look of it!

    Man that sucks. Would a brake lever guard have helped or just meant that he would have hit the 600 at a faster speed!?

    The good folk at California Superbike School would be able to learn you how to avoid such situations.
    Maybe you can buy a couple of VMCC raffle tickets and get on one of the courses?

    If the instructor does not have a cast on his arm I might be keen,
