Well, well, well , Hhhmmmmmmmm. after a non eventful ride day with Abo bob at OP GP 2 weeks ago, I thought I would improve my riding capabilities at the super bike school. Today on my 4th session at Eastern creek, I decided to drop the wife’s bike at turn 7. I was close to the ground when the front tyre let go so the impact was minimal. All I can remember is diving into turn 6 and thinking WHAT WAS THAT as I watch the bike slide away from me at a great rate of knots. As I was sliding I realised I was laying on a race track and chose to stand up only to realise I was still moving so I had to run to avoid a face plant. According to the instructor who was following me, I did not do anything wrong, it just looks like I over cooked the tyre and it just let go on the apex. The wife took the ordeal fairly well, she was more pi$$ed about missing the rest of the day then the damage to the bike.
Some pics
Although it was dropped at about 80-90km/hr a 2nd hand mirror and rear fairing parts are under $300 in total. The scratches we will have to live with.
Cant wait for the next one!
