The fact that John survived such a high speed crash without a scratch is a testament to his engineering design and manufacture, he's a true British speed hero in the same mould as Campbell, Nobel and the others, thanks for posting.

The difference between experience and bravado. "My fault. I didn't see the cones in time to miss them". A younger driver would have found some way to lay blame on anyone other than himself.

It seems that there’s too much vibration for John to be able to see where he’s going. On the first run he was veering right towards the sea. On the final run he was over compensating left. But cones are deadly to bikers in any scenario, even on normal roads. So why were they used. John may well have accepted responsibility for the crash, but this whole thing seems to lack proper professional planning and preparation. Unlike the Utah salt flats, Pendine is a sand beach. Therefore all they needed to do was use a few hundred very weak plastic sticks inserted into the sand, with vertical flags to mark a course. If they had, they would be much easier to see. Also, this crash could have been avoided. This isn’t rocket science. The only calculations that needed to be made were: What are the risks of the bike hitting a cone? A. MASSIVE What are the potential consequences? A. CATASTROPHIC It’s all very well eulogising John as a hero and comparing him to others. But unless lessons are learned here, this was all in vain.

Not heard of this chap until six minutes ago.. He already has my total respect! From one mad scientist to another, BRAVO sir! BRILLIANT 🏆
When I grow up, I wanna be like you John. I am only 61.
Genial - bescheiden - ehrlich - authentisch - mutig - humorvoll = LEGENDE !!!
