Calling Phil Betty ... how are you after crashing into that 500 ? It looked like at aircraft crash site when i hit the stricken 500 and took to the air myself! Just glad i landed on both wheels, but i must admit it 'scared the sensored out of me' !! Hope your on the mend mate....

hi mike, i'm not too bad. just lost some skin off index finger and six stitches in thumb. thanks to you and everyone else for not running me over! I gather it was mayhem! I was lucky to get off so lightly and hopefully didn't cause anyone else too many problems. Bike doesn't seem too bad and i was back at work on tuesday. Hope all is ok with you mate.

Well, I am glad someone else reckoned a 500 was downed. I saw it all, and thought there were 2 bikes on the ground but later in the paddock was told only Phil had fallen.

what Happened Phil - did the throttle stick open? Or were you taking Le Patron's instructions (to finish 3rs in the c/ship) a little too literally? lol!

Glad to hear you are OK though. Smile

Seeing 2 bikes on the deck? Well I've had the eyesight checked - all OK, so it must be the short term memory. Incidentally, data logger shows I braked down to 15 mpg to avoid Phil and his bike.

Good to hear no serious damage Phil

Peter your Bantam is thirsty what is the consumption when accelerating.

Well spotted Steve. Took me a couple of scans to realise what you were on about!

i did of course mean "braked down to 15 mph"
