Nothing to do with the pegs pressing so hard into the floor they've lifted the rear wheel then???

Amazing series of pics (shame about the outcome but glad to hear you and the bike are on the mend) and on the bright side you've got an AWESOME set of pics out of it.
Who was the photographer coz they are without a doubt the best trackday pics I've ever seen?

And as a final note, I hope you don't mind some feedback but your body position could be better
If you sit up a bit more and lean into the corner, rather than lying horizontal across the tank, the bike will be more upright for the same corner speed

Wondered that myself. The second pic shows deff shows something digging in.

Ben

What would the chances be of a photographer pointing a camera at you while standing on the inside of the very corner you make a james hunt of it at.

Wonder if it was a set up? A sort of Irish You've Been Framed?

The photographer was a lad that rides with us sometimes Paul Gormley based up North here, but calls himself a "Dub in exile". He does magazine shoots sometimes, but an excelent photographer by all accounts!
It was just by pure chance that Paul was on the corner as JW came flying by!! Think that songwrited fella said it best ".....float like a cannonball".... JW was trying to prove him wrong.... but failed!!

Irish You've Been Framed my butt!!
