495 injury
« on: October 24, 2013, 07:45:22 pm »
At the Crawford Classic this year Adrian was suggesting that I take his 495 out for a race or two. I declined his kind offer and told him I still had the scares from such an adventure back in the 80's. This crash has almost become legend and grown faster and larger over the years. This photo surfaced the other day which I think backs up some of that story. Over the bars at a fair pace and a 495 lands on you, complete with tire tracks.

It was Mick on the back ( wish I could still fit into those pants )
John as the bruising hadn't started it must have been shortly after the indecent.
