Motorcycle lap of Cadwell Park with crash on a ZX-7R Ninja

My dear old pal Julian getting it all wrong at the Goose Neck. Our first time at Cadwell. Full lap leading up to it. Before they put the bus stop in between Mansfield and The Mountain. Late 2003......I think...he got up and walked away.

Christ, give my mate a break! It was his (and my) first time at Cadwell. Was the first time hed rode the bike in anger. At that time, the rider had been through TWO bouts of chemotherapy, as he had been suffering with multiple myeloma (cancer of the bone marrow) since 1997. He was in agony for 2 days after this, following what was a minor off at the goose neck (that you or I would have walked away from). Oh and he cant go to Cadwell any more as he died in 2006, aged 40. No joke.

Well, Julians first time on his ZX7R, first time at Cadwell and (not sure why I'm sharing this) a man suffering from blood cancer since 1996. Sadly he is no longer around to see the clip.

@foggys916 Don't worry about the idiots on here mate. They like to come on and rubbish anyone who isn't going around like Rossi. Not all bikers are like this thank god!!! Your mate isn't the first person to get a corner wrong on his first track day and won't be the last, not like he was trying to be a GP rider or anything, he was there to have fun. Shame he came off. RIP your mate. Nice vid.
