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..... :twisted:

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

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'.... :lol:
