| Wanted - Sympathy
On most of our track days I get little circuit time as I do the Novice and Intermediate classroom tuition sessions.
I have spent months trying to find good competent fast racers who can effectively teach their skills to other people in classroom situations. Finally I have found someone, so I was looking forward to getting out on the circuit at on July 4th to do some circuit instruction and enjoy riding with you guys……
Well it isn’t to be…….
I was at Donnington trying to set up the suspension on the new bike, coming out of Coppice I had a huge hi-side. I thought ”oh good - I have got away with light bruising” as I was surfing down Starkeys Straight at 100mph on my arse, but then I hit the curbing that flicked me over. The result is a compresion break of 5th and unstable fracture of the 4th metacarpal. Despite a diet of comfrey, almonds and shellfish, I don’t think it’s going to be fixed in time for the GP
So I guess I will be doing a special lecture on throttle control!!! |
