| Ouch that hurt
Today I was at Cadwell on my new litre race bike, it was looking immaculate !
4th session in and after one sighting lap the instructor pulls over, I approach the hairpin breaking heavy and bang I'm hit hard from behind, I go up and land on the bike then we both go down in a heap
My hand hurts like hell and I'm sent to Hospital, luckily it's just bruising and it's in bandage for 5 days. The bike is a mess and I've given up counting the cost of the damage as it's over £1000.
The guy that hit me couldn't stop apologising saying he was 'racing' his mates and had to get by them at the hairpin, he got by them alright, he and his bike are pretty much ok too
I just don't know why people ride way beyond their limits on a trackday, if beating people is that important then shouldn't they be racing ? |
