Double doh.

At least it was done in battle, damage looks very similar to mine from earlier this yr. Except I hit a driving instructor and you hit tyres. And my bill was £3k.

I'm not too bothered about sorting it at the mo. Windscreen, obviously, but there's nothing structural wrong - I'll save the clam fix for when the weather gets nicer...

Insurance job as it was a non fault / still pending.....

But the no major underneath is the main thing I suppose.

So, new screen and gaffer tape on the clam for now. Will scout ebay for clams in the new year...

Pax here - it wasn't anything exciting, as you mentioned, low speed lockup. I got away with using the rumble strips at the old hairpin earlier in the day. Probably a good thing that my day ended early due to this...

Alright Graham?

Would you believe that I've only ever been off the track twice at KH? (in the space of about 15 trackdays there...)

Managed to avoid that barrier earlier in the day and I also had a wee grasstracking session at hall bends - missing the tyre wall by a gnat's...

I suppose I should have heeded my own warnings about 3rd time lucky and never going out for 'just a few final laps'....

Ah, the common-or-garden SE battle weary patina... Given time, you'll learn to love it
