Hi Steemers.
sorry for the lack of updates today but i was out racing with #factorysteemit rider Brad Clements and what started well... Ended badly lol :/

A mid race 'knock' with someone resulted in a split in my fuel tank so for everyone's safety that was the end of my day. No way I'm going to jump on a bike in a full group with a bike leaking petrol...

I tried to do some 'ghetto' fixes at the track but to no avail. It's ok, safety comes before valor as they say and racing is racing... Next time will be my time :)

Bound to happen sooner or later brother! Racin's no JOKE! Just glad to see you're allgood!

Nice one @stillwater, yeah you have to see through the racing at the track. I'm fit and fine, the bike is just 'stuff'. Fix, repair and replace and move on. The same cannot be said for people or health, perspective.

I'm sorry about that, mate. But it was a good decision to not carry on driving.
Health is first priority.

Agreed @ontheverge, simply not worth the risk.

Is that every body good?
