Wet motorbike trackday crash at Knockhill

My second session on my wet trackday at Knockhill. What is it they say about going off line in the wet again?

Were you allowed to ride the track again after the crash or did they remove you for the rest of the season bro?

@Unity0Is0Power They didn't have to remove me - I broke my handlebar and footpeg. If you're bike is still safe to ride Knockhill will let you back on the track unless they think you're being such an ass that you're a danger to others.

If I as riding a bike as quick as yours, on that track, in the wet, I would have crashed well before you did.

Might actually have slung it into a ditch on the way to the track.

That's if I made it off my drive without incident.

Fell off one of my bikes once in my garage when my shoe lace got caught in the foot peg and I couldn't put my foot down.

We've all done something similar to that. The bike was just a 1991 CBR600, nothing too rapid. ;)

I had the same with my scooter a week ago. Hate it.

@petkicker Ignore this one then! You just need to be smooth and try to relax and you'll be fine. If you can get a set of wets on track you'd be amazed how grippy they are.

Me too... watching these wet vids to see what I can do but I don't think this is helping!

Not as bad as you'd think. The R&G crash bung saved a lot. I needed a new clip-on and lever, right hand foot peg and a new R&G. Other than that I got away with it.
