He saved it.
« on: February 16, 2015, 08:47:16 am »
This was on the VRRA  facebook page this morning. Apparantly the rider kept it pinned and stayed on the thing, kudos to him, he's painting quite a black stripe.

But just to show how the front end is twisted under the strain!! Four bolt fork caps are good, a leg brace might have helped some too, but flimsy is flimsy.  ;)

Amazing he didn't highside when the bike came around. It was obviously cocked like a spring as you say, looking at the deflection of the front wheel. Wow.

Here's the pic:
