Not too badly damaged I hope?

It's done an oily wee and it's got a few bent bits. Won't know more til I've got it home and pulled the turf out to see what it looks like underneath.

Fingers crossed for you

Oh dear... where did you lose it ?

ogden · 02-11-13, 07:39 AM

Lowside at the second part of Druids. Soaking wet track and I was blatantly pushing my luck.

Onboard video and pre-crash antic photos to follow when I get home...

Hope you're ok, was bloody awful yesterday. Wee bit damp today My son's there.
I've booked for the last one of the season 13th November for just £45 with No Limits.

I've got it home, and picked all the bits of Cheshire out of it, and other than a few new scuffs and scrapes damage seems to be limited to front and rear brake levers, and a hairline crack in the clutch cover. I've already got a spare front lever, so 20 minutes on Ebay and I should have all the other bits I need for under fifty quid. Not too bad for a 75mph lowside.

Videos are...

http://youtu.be/IzE0e1a0IwA (first session on wets)

http://youtu.be/jzNTNCTADWA (second session on wets, including the crash)

And this kind of cockiness (from the session before) is why I fell off...

Sorry to hear of your off. Glad you're OK and that the bike won't take too much fixing

Don't be. The video makes me laugh every time, and my first words to the medics when they showed up were "that was fun!"

Better to lowside in the wet than highside in the dry, eh?

Ace video mate. Druids is one slippery mother. Both me and my mate had big moments there last week. Here is a bit of vid of my mates near miss as the rear unloads on the crest after Druids. Good shot of the trees.
