@markmezo Fair play. It's good to see people riding the bikes a they were intended. It's a shame they put wooden hoops on the daytona because with proper rubber they really ride well.
Good job getting your knee down, but you guys are riding twisted! Have your head right over past the wing mirror keeping your back in a straight line effectively. You'll find you wont have to lean the bike over as much (causing the crash) but still go fast! I would recommend bridgestones bt016's very sticky tyres and gives you the best feedback! Ride safe
I am also with the exhaust touching down theory as I have raced for ten years and have used my T595 since retirement as a track bike and unless your arse is almost on the ground the exhaust will hit hard.
Michelin BT56`s, its just that dave thought he could go that little bit faster, bike had only 1500 miles on the clock, and it ripped the arse out them leathers.
Yeah, gettin it a bit too low for the camera eh? Need to raise that exhaust up out of the way. It was nice til you levered the rubber off the pavement.
Cameraman should go back to the KITCHEN!!!

Intentions or abilities. He picked the wrong one. Top marks for having a go on a battlax though. You're either niave or got balls like melons.
