On my last day off before going back to work, I decided to take a pootle over to Brands with Mitzy to see what was happening and to see if BB's very own Mckeann was out there.

It would appear we arrived to late....!




As you can see, Mac is in good spirits

Don't throw any of the broken stuff away and make sure you keep all bolts and screws.

It'll not be as bad as it looks.

Chin up mate, I've been there before.

i put 16 stone of me thru the screen, which took most of the left hand side fairing with it. I snapped a rearset too.

Was overtaking a slower rider round the outside at clearways, obviously off line, realised i was running wide, froze, ran wider. Sat bike up and went into gravel at mega mph. Got a death wobble on in the deep gravel, and the bike threw me through the screen. Supposedly the bike followed me in a perfectly coordinated front roll.

Didn't realise this was a fetishist website.

I'm sure if I took a tumble at clearways my ring would be a little 'damp'.

I went through the gravel at Clearways in 1983 on a VF 400 Honda going around the outside of a slower rider who sat up just as I was along side him.

I kept it upright

Is that SR 1 & 3 then? Bit of spit & polish and it'll be right
