Or worse still turn in front of you, realise it, and then STOP completely TOTALLY blocking the road, and no I dont have pics of that one but I still have a lump of stainless in my leg as a reminder.

Froggy - sorry mate, but it ended up @ Fowles about a month later!
However, I do have a dash for a ZZR250 in storage if anyone is interested.

As this is an 06 team crashed thread, I won't bore you with some of the other offs!!! This year however, I only tipped over one bike. The Hornet in about april or may on a patch of diesel at about 60kph. No biggie.
Varden and you other racers!!! You guys can't claim team crashed status for a racetrack off!!!! that's cheating, as all racers fall off!

On the way to the PI MotoGP this year a secret squirrel gave me a rash. Luckily it was still rideable and I didn't get hurt....and I learnt to NEVER let my concentration drop

Could ANY stack ever be as worthy as the great Putty Rd bbq? I think not personally, and after I suppose 12 months or so on the ZZR600 i'm stlll dropping the fuggin thing doing stupid stuff but no crash this year so far...

Rash adds street cred, you might want to slide it along the other side so it can be admired from both sides, its hell on resale values tho.

Good point. I ran into Mick in Cooma on the way back from the GP, and I didn't even notice the Crim carrying damage...
