Track days are where you're supposed to crash. ;)

Curvy's are too rare and cool to be crashed now. Pointies are everywhere, being binned left right and centre.

Keep up the good work RavingDavis. :smt023

Mike: See you at Mallory. :D

Thing is you can tell when a pointy model's been crashed...

If anything a good pavement interface improves the looks of the curvey...

Cheeky! Curvy's are much better looking. Fact. They crash much less. Fact.
