John ,,,it's usually chains you break for fun ,,not the big hardware

That Manchester indoor is a knarley track though

First straight ?

Glad you're ok

Ha ha, no point using knobby tyres on that track; the dirt is so hard packed that it's basically like dusty concrete.

No, didn't attempt the first jump, too risky for my level of skill. Loads if crashes on it

3rd straight, guy just in front of me went down in the rhythm section and I rode through/over him at speed

.
That straight is okay if you get a good pump/manual/jump but get your timing wrong and it easily gets messy... luckily I hit his body armour.

I was the oldest guy in 35-39 cruiser, was very serious and very quick.

Yeah I'm fine, I had another rider to land on

Don't know about the frame, I didn't get chance to look as it was 10pm by the time we got back and I'd got F to bed

, so late mainly for all the crashes and injuries...

So, 3rd pair of forks - this bike is getting like Trigger's broom

Dark Diggler · « **Reply #11 on:** January 16, 2012, 12:34 PM »

Good skills Jon

, I dont think that should happen to cromo forks if you hit a body though, armour or not

Glad you're Ok bud

Dark Diggler · « **Reply #12 on:** January 16, 2012, 12:36 PM »

Oh and check your headtube...thoroughly

Betty · « **Reply #13 on:** January 16, 2012, 08:31 PM »

Fook....

To fix it simply turn the bars round and ghost the bike into a wall... job done...

Glad you're ok John....

Looking at the forks again, was the bloke you run over ok?

He's sore but okay - a bit shaken after being clattered by me, and he lent me his bike to roll round in the 3rd moto which was nice

Gish · « **Reply #15 on:** January 16, 2012, 08:39 PM »

it was probs the only thing he could have done once he seen your forks then the size of you

ron burgundy · « **Reply #16 on:** January 16, 2012, 08:53 PM »

I will check the videos when I get home tomorrow. I think we may have caught that.

motomagII · « **Reply #17 on:** January 16, 2012, 08:55 PM »

that pic dont do the forks justice at all they are muich worse in the flesh than that pic shows lol
i think you must have run over into him and then hist the next roller or summat because they are mashed completely .cant see a body doing that although his frame may have but then that would have suffered too i reckon .
