I have a couple of opposed twins. It's funny and painful both at the same time! Thanks

 Thats not so bad, at least he walked or limped away..

 They had to make a top frame rail design change, to prevent injuries on fuel bikes..

 Sadly, a fellow up in this province lost his life in a fuel explosion, top end of his bike let go...

LOL - my race single stopped on my flat out on the Aintree straight once. I whipped the clutch in quick thinking the worst and the throttle had gone all slack and horrible. When I coasted to a stop up the run off road at the end of the straight I looked down and there was my great big single carb hanging over the head by the throttle cable alone. Over time the rubber manifold had perished and then split in two with the vibration of a high speed run! :D

Question, "what type of bike do you race?"   Answer, "the exploding type!"
