Thanks for your thoughts Glenn, in the dry I have no trouble with the front end at all, it's only the second time I've ridden the bike to be fair but tried it on a test afternoon at Mallory and had loads of confidence tipping in to any of the corners, fast or slow, on the brakes or not.

On reflection then, I was probably just trying to go round too quickly . . .

From my viewpoint about 20yds behind you didn't make the turn at all, you went in a straight line into the gravel and so did the bike behind you, it really did seem as soon as you hit the brakes you went down, the bike behind did the same but a bit more stylish
