The same thing happened to my Brother in the last Inters session on Tuesday, but he managed it going into Charlies 2, hope you are not feeling to sore Tim.

something weird in that session, the first Two fallers had no idea why they came off at charlies One. I was running in Inters in that session and saw them go down and your brother as the first Two were next to us I talked to them after. The fireblade was totally unmarked, I have never seen a bike with as little damage after any off. He was convinced he had gone down on some oil or fluid. Then this one, only fifty yards on? was it unexplained or pilot era?

I think it was pilot error, Paul (Bionicle) said that he went round a couple of bikes exiting Charlies 1 & when he went to turn into Charlies 2 it was a bit late & he did a Rattler & clipped the grass with the front wheel (you can see this in the picture I put on the other post) & down he went, not to much damage to the bike & apart from scuffed leathers he was ok.

I thought i rode bikes not flew them , Yep i am sure in my mind it was error on my side, i had already been round once and seen the two guys sat on the tyre wall, second time round i went round someone on the outside at charlies 1 and am sure i got my line wrong for charlies 2 saw the front wheel drift over the white line tried to push it back out onto the track but the front touched the grass and that was it, so i took up position with the other two and watched the rest of the session from there

Hats off to the marshal though he quised me as to why i had fallen asking if there was anything on the track, and even went back for another look to be sure even after i told him it was my fault.

A bit of bad luck really, nevermind. Thanks for saying that about the marshall's though, I thought they were excellent.

What was it like watching from there? I've never walked around out there to watch anyone.

Cheeky bastid! I actually meant the bloke who was heading up the show (forgotten his name), I was impressed how they organised things. If that was a track day run by a few other TDO's it would have been a red flag. They worked with WJB quite well and there was an excellent rapport between them.

WJB is an excellent asset to this club!

Gissa go on the CBR WJB?
