Had the video on, but it was playing up so I did not get from where he went down ...

He fecked his leg pretty bad end the guy he took out (which, was his mate, at least before this!) walked away ...

Just before the gooseneck on the TT course ...

Woah that was not good, how fast did that happen!!

I presume thats you who was in the rear camera stopping traffic? Good Call!!

i know you say apart from the leg they were okay, but that biker on the road furthest away looked way bad! Not good at all!

I was doing around 50ish (it is still a 50 limit there at the moment, does not get de restricted till after the gooseneck) but those guys had decided to nail it already and where going for it ... he must have hit his peg on the ground or something? I don't know how common this is for bikes??

That was my passenger, I had pulled far in to the left because I knew loads of traffic would be coming any second, but before I had even a chance to jump out he was gone, good man, left me to get on to the emergency services where came pretty quick,, but then again, they are just sitting waiting for it at the moment!

Edit to say, the other guy got knocked out I think, he got up a few seconds later and walked away from it ....

ouch!

yeh, by the looks he grounded out on his peg, which lifted the back tire just enough to pull that darky,

you can see the peg scrape in the road just before the black mark, thats enough to throw the bike down the road
