Riding a brand new GSXR750 in 2000 - barely 1000km, first time on the track, over cooked a blind corner (Leguna Seca corkscrew style), rode straight ir into the gravel trap while still on the front brakes and promptly flipped the bike head over heels with me flying several metres away. luckily not much damage other than ego...
A couple of weeks later, fanging around with some friends on public roads when a truck suddenly pulled up in front of me as I rounded a corner. Everything went into slow motion as I stood the bike up on the brakes, backed the bike onto the grass strip by the side of the road and remembering the incident with the gravel trap with my mind going, release brake or will flip again, released brakes as I went into grass, took control, rode back onto the road, still doing about 80km/h and then thinking, fark thats embarressing, ah, set up for next corner and continue going - All this happened in a split second!
After spending a weekend at Sepang International Raceway, we had to ride back to Singapore. Probably about the same distance as Wakefield Park to Sydney. Had a gentlemen's agreement with buddies to ride back safely at the speed limit but all it takes is one monkey to throttle up and next thing we know, we were all cruising at 200~250km/h and reached home in under 2hrs. :-p
Chasing a Honda SP-1 through the Johore Circuit when, while knees down, his farking brake lights came on and then bang! I rear ended him hard. I managed to stop on the track while he wobbled his way off the circuit. thought he had control when he stopped upright, but stupid fark forgot to put his feet down and toppled over..while stopped!
Much more but will prpobably get an infraction... :-p
