It's amazing what coaching can do.

Session 3: Braking later and harder, lots of spinning. Brake adjusted afterwards.
Session 4: 1 sec faster. New lines picked out.
Session 5: Every braking point is better. Every turn-in point is better. But she's slower down the straight. :twitch: It's probably the engine. It's getting looked over tonight. :banghead:

Got to see my old man at the hospital today, asked about his crash on the bike. Said the back just stepped out with no brakes an his thigh landed straight on the curb and the bone snapped.

After having a look at his bike he has proven that a Kenda tire does actually have less grip if you mount it inside out.

I'm going to throw the tire out, slap a couple of Contis on it and never ever tell him what he did wrong, he'd be so pissed with himself.
Damn, landing on a curb like that sounds brutal. Hopefully someone helped him quickly then eh?

Speedy recovery :cheers:

Yeah he crashed out the front of people I dog sit for.
They helped him and some of his riding buddies saw the commotion and came up. Traffic had to be diverted around him as he was stuck at the curb, was a full diagonal fracture, so he said moving hurt a bit.

He sounded fine on the phone and was able to cancel his caravan inspection, which was all he was worried about, haha!
