Thanks for the report Rocky. It's nice to get the whole truth from those involved rather than ill informed and opinionated rumours from "experts" who have never been there.
I hope you've fully recovered from the effects of the crash and are ready for a new attempt. To Mike and the crew I wish you all the best on the rebuild and any further attempts. All of you are a class act that have shown persistence and care in accomplishing your goals. I'm sure this accident will cause further analysis of your procedures to minimize the effects of any further incidents. Would installing the bodywork have made the effects of the tip less? I would think so. (That may be one of those uninformed opinions!)
I don't envy those involved in the clean-up. Is there any place the salt didn't get to? This is going to be a long winter, but you'll definitely know that nothing's been missed in going over the bike before the next run.
Good luck in your run to 400 in 2012. We'll all be watching and cheering.
Pete
