First off on Saturday, been a pretty good day all round few of us going round, riding really quick as well.

Did a few bends, came around a right hand bend overtaking a mate on the straight and the throttle jammed open, tight right hander coming up, I was partially on the wrong line for it, but with the bike constantly accelerating I couldn't do much.

I tried leaning the bike over, the rear brake wasn't working and the front just had the feeling of low siding and pinballing around.

I thought about "laying it down" but that's the pussy way out of things, go big or go home.

Hit the barrier, sent me flying clipped the bar with my leg bending the bar, the bike was apparently about 12 feet in the air, I was too busy crashing to see what was going on behind me, I came down back first onto the barrier and bounced on the floor.

Looked to my left, bike was there, I picked it up as it was still running and got back on it but the chain had come off.

Luckily I had the Go Pro on to catch the hilarity of the event, not had time to edit the video and cut it all down and export into HD, so you will have to deal with me taking a video of a video with my phone in the pub.

Amazing day out though, damage report, I got a booboo on my leg, and I then carried on to finish with everyone else, still came 4th Laughing



ETA: M4 Karting, really good £38 for a session and it is hilarious fun, not your bike so you don't care about low siding or flipping it like I did.

Is that the back of the hangar taken as two corners per chance?

I crashed in exactly the same spot when on a BCF outing once.

Laughing fun times!

Happens to the best of us, could you not have just used the clutch when the throttle jammed open though?

Yeah it is, I came around it and the throttle jammed solid, it wouldn't roll off and there was no way I was sitting the bike up in a corner with brakes.

Told the guy, he asked about the bike, his "mechanic" said nothing wrong with it and I rode full throttle into the barrier....because the throttle stuck.

next person to use, it would either not run, or run flat out on it's own, but it was me apparently. The 3 low sides were my fault, that wasn't

Minimoto, it is twist and go, no clutch.
