Well this definitely took the cake for the most damage I have caused to a bike (except for the Wes Cooley incident but we dont talk about that anymore
). On Saturday I locked the front wheel trying a passing move (well thats all I can come up with) down into the cauldron causing me to hit the deck pretty hard and flip the bike. Damage reportBike

)Managed to get the bike running again by race one on Sunday but rode like a cat in the first race so nothing to brag about there. Race 2 saw me start well but a funny noise came from the bike (started sounding like a Ducati
) Spent a lap in last place looking around on my bike and waiting for a black flag. When I didnt get one I decided to HTFU and have a dig. Overtook about 3 riders in a couple of laps and started to catch Wattie (although he was a long way in front by this stage and the race just wouldnt be long enough even if I could wind him in). Anyways heading onto the straight through the hairpin right I had the arse end step out huge on me. Nothing to kick you out of the seat but more than the normal spin and drift you get through that corner. Thinking the the right side of the tyre was a bit hot now I took it easy at the end of the straight and up the hill. However the next right hander I hit at the top of the hill the bike just slipped out mid corner. Long story short I am thinking either oil coming out of my right hand engine cases or the link pipe loosened off and jammed up under the rear wheel causing the rear wheel to lock (which by the marks on the track the rear did lock 
) this also explains the thumpy noise.Bike damage from Sunday
- Bent link pipe
- Smashed speedo
- Broken front fairing
- Grinded down footpeg
- Bent exhaust hanger
- More damage to the fairing
