Kiwi's Tumble

For your viewing pleasure - let the somewhat short show begin...
The top part of the screen is the finish line which is about 100 meters from whre I parted company with the FZR, and when the flag marshall does the funny little side step, she's avoiding the bike.
Hope this works...
And my only lingering injury is a sprained thumb, and yes I bought a lotto ticket later on, but my luck seemed to be all used up - not that I'm complaining
Sorry if it take a while to load - it was a huge file.

Graham,
WTH happened there man??? Almost looked like you were well off before you even hit the wall? Had you saved a high-side but got all messed up on the machine, hence, the wall? Just tryin' to figure it out, sorry if I'm making you relive the pain, OW, Damn!!
Glad you're alright my friend.

I'm sorry, but I had a little giggle over that, not because "YOU" crashed, but because I read all of the comments before watching the vid. Seeing them picking up flags upon flags....
Glad Everyone is okay.
Oh, and that looked like it hurt more than you are letting on.

Honestly - I was a bit bent but nothing was broken, I only had a few light bruises and a sprained thumb - and that's all; and I was back at work on Tuesday, just moving a little slower than usual.

well,
I've got a fairing for a 1000 but I don't think they fit the 750 frames, at least that's what that oen looks like anyways and I sold both of my wheels to Graham. I'd help you with parts if I could, but that good old NZ shipping would probably kill. Like another fellow said, bikes you can fix, so I'm more than happy you're alright. Here's to riding something else for your racing season

One reason when you work at a racetrack you always keep an eye up track. Been cornerworking for 9 yrs this year. Seen some rather insane crashes and some bonehead things happen (ie spectators trying to stop a race by running out to the track and a photographer sneaking out to lay in the grass 20' from the track)
