over the bars before the camera started? how'd he get in front of the thing?

mattyvas · March 30, 2009, 01:23:19 AM

Not sure, it started before I saw it I was shooting someone else coming out of the corner.
So I only caught it from there on, but they are all of my frames of it.

I think it was a Suzuki Gixa 600 t'was very blinged to

mattyvas · March 30, 2009, 02:52:36 AM

It was a 1000, busted clipon, mashed pipe, fairing and other bits and pieces.
Basically, ouch.
Not worse than the guy who came down at 11-12 yesterday and turned it into a ball of flames for a sec.
That's now a serious track bike.

Oh and does someone know this guy, nice set on the Ozmonster Flickr page.

i think it was '98, i was at eastern creek for a track day and this guy rolled up with a brand spanking new R1, no klms on it, just picked it up from the dealer. exiting pit lane he lost it and high sided in spectacular style with the bike catching fire, not being on the track proper, just the pit exit at the bend, by the time fire marshalls got there it was a black molten mess. poor bugger, had the longest face i'd seen in a while.

maybe it's just the angle or something, but this guy looks a little out of shape in the corner

I'm pretty sure when leaned over your arse should be on the seat!

mattyvas · March 30, 2009, 04:07:05 AM

Yeah he had a really funny style, he always lifted himself off the bike each time on exit.
Strange way to shift your weight from side to side.
