Actually now that you mention it yeah, I got that nickname from my first year racing an MZ250 about 9 years ago. I spent more time on the grass than the tarmac. :-)

The guy who owned the bike threatened to fit it with nobbly tyres for me.

That'll teach ya for pushing so hard Mike.......

Seriously fella, as I came round the next lap and saw the groves in the track where your pegs dug in.......I thought ouch that's a fast place to let go!!

Glad to see you back up and out again though fella.

Cheers Paul.

One of those things really, just a smidge too fast into the corner. I felt the peg touch down for just a little longer than usual and thought "Uh oh, here we go".

If you're going to fall off though thats the kind of fall to have when you are already on the floor. It was pretty fast though, it let go right at the apex.

Eeek, glad to hear it was a fairly 'pleasant' off ;)

When you go grass cutting do you collect the grass or mulch it btw, hehe.

Glad the SV was bashed back into shape easy enough too.
