Mechanical issue is right. T'was the 1st session and the bike was missing gears and finding neutral. He found a gear then went to go into 2nd. Then it jumped into neutral causing the engine to rev, found gear again and induced a "Powerslide". Well, sorta. As he was only going like 15mph it was a gentle lowside.

He was a bit shocked and they couldn't get the bike fixed ... so he just jumped on his spare bike Gotta love trackday riders.

Was a great day out in the end though. By 3 everyone had quit but 6 of us, who then had another hour 15 minutes to tear up the track. This day alone was probably worth 2 track days. Even had to borrow some fuel to keep going
