From in the car it was not a problem. I just lost both wheels.

Yeah Laughing You can see him frantically trying to countersteer when his wheels have blatantly disappeared into the crowds - check the video at 0:15 - looks like a wheel nearly took out the cameraman!

That was first practice, not qualifying silly.

That's pretty mental though. Imagine having the front wheel of your bike shoot off down the road without you when you're already doing 150MPH and trying to brake Shocked

ms51ves3: why does it need 500 miles? Are you teaching it how to be a piston?
