    That looks ok Billy. Put the minor off to the back of your mind and move on, shit happens. When you are pushing on you are going to find the limit, and occasionally tip over it, all racers have done it and if they haven't they aren't trying hard enough. One thing I did notice from sitting on your bike at Donington was how high the rearsets are! You are as tall as me though I reckon I have longer legs but I wonder if you are fully comfortable on the bike and whether some small adjustments would improve the feel and lead to increased confidence? If it was my bike I think I'd have to have them a bit lower and possibly further back in order to ride how I wanted. Are they well clear of the track at your comfortable full lean angle? I did see that there are no chicken strips so you are clearly getting well over and using all the tyre, what do you think?

    That’s a popular crashing point as it always feels too slow on the entry, so you never slow enough and run out of track.

    Ha,ha. I see the two fingers ready to pull the clutch, I too had two stroke bikes that would seize on occasion.
