Ron Haslams - crashed !
Well there was I bombing round Donington on Wednesday ....first session instructor says , err other chap really good, but Pete .....err, i thought you were going down a few times...youre leaning the bike over too much while you are like pillion, too upright....you need to hang off more , weight the inside peg and keep the bike more upright...Ok Ill try, we do a coupla laps and i get a big thumbs up from instructor ahead, apparently I was looking better but i didnt feel any better....so im following into the Loop, shooting past others , he takes a lovelt flowing line thru but Im in tighter and trying to follow his line out I tip it over more and .....down
 , just tipped it off the edge of the tyre like he said I would.... well it was slow, landed on me elbpw, shoulder and helmet....that was me done ! **** it ! least it wasnt my bike !  I find it really hard following the instructor , made more mistakes in those 10 laps i did than all the other dayys ive done at Donny put together...absolutely awesome bike on track btw, you just need to get used to it !!!

Oops!
Whats the insurance on those things? Did you have to pay an excess? |

IIRC the cost is covered within the course fee - but if you bin it that's your day over.
