Not as safe as i'd hoped andy, see below
Still could have been worse, i walked away without a scratch. still loved it though, best buzz there is. I'll have to go back with some proper tyres and softer suspension. What a rush!! |

I'm not sure I just txt my mate he knows, I was only doing around 65mph its a 180 deg right hander. I put it down to raod tyres, suspension to hard and over confidence, probably more to do with over confidence though  I was going so well to, luckily it hapened on my 12th lap so I'd had a good day. I'm absoluitly 100% ok, amasing really! |

I've just been out to check my wheelbase as a mate crashed his 750 and wrote it off cos the frame was bent. Its 1390mm (think it should be 1410) and the front mudguard points to the right, recon the frame might be a little wonkey  |
