    That was really impressive Wavey and Franco's clearly blessed with a shed load of natural talent...that 52.99 hangin onto Andy Irwin's coat-tails was mega...and he was spot on with his initial thoughts as to why he lost the front too!

    'Ere, Dave, if you want the sound of the on-boards to match the excellence of the shots, you should tape the fluffy lapel mic that you shove under peoples' helmets to the underside of the rear fairing, out of the wind. It picks up the sound of the engine without the wind noise.

    Seen too many engine mounts broken off and frames damaged from the impact on the mushrooms, so I don't run them. They can save little bits in slow crashes, but can cause significant damage too
