Paging AM on an RC51 who highsided at BHF

[Rich]

Dude are you ok?  I saw you get a nasty highside coming out of turn 7 duting supertwins.  I went left to miss your bike but instead headed right towards you as you got pitched like a rag doll.  I tried to steer some more but lost it in the sand.  Glad I didn't hit you although I banged myself up in the process.  Were you hurt?

[Jeff]

That might have been 841, Greg... But he got hit by another rider in T7 which caused him to go down.  Other dude broke his collar bone.

[G-reg]

Lucky for me I'm crash resistant so other than being a little bruised I'm good!

So you didn't hit me?  It felt like something hit my rear end and kicked it out, and then I saw you right next to me after I stopped sliding and my rear axle was crooked like it got hit hard on the back wheel after I got back on it so I just assumed I got taken out..  ???  Thanks for not running me over though!

Rich, I was right behind both of you when it happened and it looked bad. I saw you go left to avoid him, and yeah he got thrown pretty hard. That was a bad spot still a little wet on the outside there.

For the record I can verify he didn't hit you, like I said I think you caught that damp patch on the outside of the track while on the gas, looked like the rear end stepped out, then got past the damp spot, and when it did it got traction that was probably what you felt, and that was what threw you. Glad you're ok thought.

Greg! you liar!!! you know we'd have ridiculed you soooooo much more if we only knew it was all your fault! LOL...

[Jeff]

Oh sure... now claim a head injury... ::)

[G-reg]

Na.. I'll claim a right hand injury.  Stupid wrist snaps open the throttle too fast.  :-/

Seeing it, and having done almost the same thing in the LWSB race on an SV, I don't think it was even that, I think it was simply a matter of feeling good because there was a dry line and there was, then catching the spot that wasn't dry, then another dry patch. At least that's sure what it looked like from right behind you guys.

No Jeff Rich didnt hit Greg. I was working T7 and seen Greg starting highside then seen Rich's bike on its side in teh gravel. We heard Gregs bike's motor spin up and then off he goes. At first I didnt know how Rich went down and assumed he clipped Gregs bike after it went down. There was a guy videotaping from T7 and got it. Rich ended up in the gravel and lost the bike. Thought for sure Greg was gonna be the one hurt, not Rich.

Greg, did ya get a headache from the cornerworker that was helping you at first pounding the side of you helmet to get the visor clipped in?

[Jeff]

Yeah, the truth came out Rob...  LOL (sorry Greg, just bustin your chops)
