Total and utter destruction

Ashley Beech - Bike Breaker

Tweet
Posted: 15 September 2011
by mark forsyth


Poor Ashley Beech. You've gotta feel for him.

After a fraction too much throttle on the run down to Donington's Old Hairpin, the rear breaks grip amd he starts what should be a graceful slide across Craner Curve's neatly mown grass.

While Ashley's slide is fairly composed his bike decides to dig in and get all violent. The result? His once pristine, fully race prepped 675 Triumph smashes itself to bits. Not much to salvage there...
