Well that is definitely one of the most impressive off's I have EVER seen.
Glad you are okay but I take it the bike is scrap

If you don't mind me asking, how the feck did you manage to do it? Was it 'just' a case of cracking open the throttle way to early?

Exactly !!! i opened the throttle a lot before i should have done. It was on one of my fastests laps and was trying to overpass the guy in front. My mistake !!!!!!
The bike is repairable(frame, subframe, absorber, brakes, fule tank & engine are ok) i need about 3k euro to repair. but have not yet decided what i will do............ in any case when one rides bikes for too long...... one learns to accept that "falling" is one part of the equation..
