Bloody Hell. That took some skill to avoid the 2nd one, I could almost feel the back end sliding out there

would need a change of undies after that one

Well avoided.

Yeah, seemed a bit weird he came off there so easily, looks like the front wheel locked and he lost it, too heavy on the brakes....

I had a guy do that in the wet at SS right in front of me, to make matters worse his bike burst into flames.

Reminds me of manbeast at Cadwell last year, he did something similar, although it was bike first then him spinning across the track in front of me

Looks to me like he's locked the front - panic braking

It's a strange one, is it a linked brake bike?  Hyabusa? Slammed them on and slammed the floor?  happened so fast!

He went down really fast. Can you go down that fast on a locked rear? I think it must have been the front that locked up too... Hope the guy on the camera bike had some extra brown rubber safety pants!

wasn't a Busa - the fat bloke in front looks like he was riding a big bike like a busa. Crash dude panic grabbed the front - cam rider made fucking good use of that back brake, the fallen bike span round quite quickly.

Great vid

I aint been on track since a bloke died in front of me. Hopefully will get back on next year when I gets back from my worldly travels

I dunno what to make of all this. If IF Suzuki do go the CRT route, I reckon it would be a bit of a shame. But I can understand the reasons,...
