Sounds much like mine at turn 3 at Morgan Park except I was going about 100kmh less and I have no memory of it. I broke the two outside toes on my right foot.
Hope your feeling better soon

"1st thing was "shit""

No doubt,

I low sided at less than 1/2 that speed on my YZF750, and it was brown trousers time!

What make and model of boots were you wearing Wattie... Do you have any pics of the damage (if any) to the boots?

Hope you heal soon Bro.

they were Gaerne boots, just road boots not full race boots. i will get pics.

they are about 6 years old, well worn, but never crashed in. hardly suffered any damage at all. juts scrapes on the toe slider.

i didnt have new gear on, i didnt have a new bike, i didnt have new tyres.

But i did fit crash knobs during the week. Thanks Pete from Kaneg!!

Turn 1 at EC got me today.

Due to rider error i dropped the front as it tipped in at about 250km.hr (as per my GPS.)

have to say that is my worst fkn nightmare!! i bloody hate T1.... i could imagine things could have been much worse.. hope you heal up well wattie.

my crash was a bit early in the corner for using my knee to push myself back up...

think pedrosa in 2010 in the wet leading the race.
