nw 200 crash
hey all,
Thanks to all the well wishers after my nw200 off. It was a big dissapointment after a super qualifying left us 7th on the superstock grid, 8th in the 600's which i was really pleased with as thats probably the most competative class nd 11th on the superbikes (on the stocker- and ahead of guy martins super trick looking blade, we were admiring it on the grid before the race- oh it has motec electronics- with engineer and computer on stand by- trick suspension, hrc this, hrc that, all we had was a two year old r1 and talent To view pics on this biker's forum - your post count must be 2 or greater. ) Anyway i didnt get a good start as all the bsb bikes now run launch control and mc bride rolled it through station on the opening lap, causing us to loose contact with the lead group. We were running the stocker on threaded tyres all week and this was my first time out on full slicks. The bike was geared too high in the wind but i didnt mind as it was mainly a test for the superstock race. Anyway she let go through the chicane an flipped me over the high side, we recon the rear tyre was starting to fail because i wasn't going any harder than usual through there. I suffered a broken ankle which has now been screwed back together so hopefully we will be back for athea. The bike is rightly damaged and along with my leathers being cut off and arai getting trashed we have a fairly massive repairs bill to sort out before i can go racing again. (a total of around €5k) So once again we have the cap in hand for anyone who would like to see a southern rider put it up to our better funded northern friends in the national road races. €300 for your name on our truck or bike, which cant be bad value Come on lads, were desperate regards, John Walsh #61 087 6846825
