Rate The Flatspot - Guesty V. Gos

Post by Gosling1 »

Here are 2 flatspots, both on the back of Kawasaki Z1000's.

One was the result of a 'racing incident' at Eastern Creek, in March 2006. Rider was well-known A-Grader, Peter Guest.

The other was a result of an 'unfortunate incident with a sleeping bag' on the Federal Highway, en route to the Rage Rally, in October 1996. Rider was well-known ratbag and rally nutcase, yours truly.

Here is your task - Rate The Flatspot. :shock:

:D

Yes, we were lucky........check the next photo, this is from back where the sleeping bag decided it liked the inside of the swingarm better..... :?

Skidmark measured at 120 metres, or about 360 feet in the old money....

The car in the distance is right next to the bike, parked *just* off the side of the road, where it ended up........

Strika - you almost hit the speed on the head mate !! :shock: Doing 145 when this happened ......it was <60kmh from there to Goulburn Kawasaki !! :lol:

Team Crim - ssshhhhhh its a secret... :wink:

I wish I had kept that back tyre after it was changed, in fact we rang Goulburn Kwakka after getting back from the Rage, and the Bastards had already binned it !! :evil: spewin...........and yes, the force of the sleeping bag being caught in the swingarm actually bent the LH (chain) side *down* about 12mm...... :shock: it was like riding a flying crab !!!

Lucas - mate, you are one of a *very* select group of humans who have actually seen Condo Man from Planet Devious, and lived to tell the tale. :lol: :lol: Normally, their eyes just self-immolate....... :shock:

just think, if you are *really* lucky, old mate Condo Man might make a special appearance in your tent at the GP !!!!
