Ooops
What not do on the way to stoneleigh! Have driven the BEC for a year with no problems in rain, ice and then go and park in a hedge in the dry!
Very little damage just lights, number plate and rear cycle wing.

eeek - not good - glad you're ok though!
I know the damage is light - but still a pisser 
A reminder to everyone of how quickly "I'm in control" can turn into "I'm outta control..."
Was you just pushing to hard off the corner? Or something let you down?

On the way to stoneleigh
I've done 1 yr about 1000miles and still ended up putting the propshaft back on at the side of the m45. This despite the fact that I had checked
the prop about 200miles ago (after seeing a similar post on here) and had a MOT the day before and the inspector let me have a good look underneath
when it was up on ramps.
So check those bolts guys !!! (cos its scary when it lets go ).
I did get to the show however but spent most of the time finding bits to fix the thing, kinda ruined the day abit
Now I've got it back home I've found my quaifes got an oil leak on alot of movement (up/down) on the rear bearing so thats got to go back
to them to check over.

Yep just pushing it to hard, a lesson learned for me in future I will just leave it for the track (for a few days anyway) still at the time it was
brown pants all round for me and my mate.
I had just taken the tyre PSI from 16 to 20 to see what the ride was like!

couldn't have found a much better spot to "park" to be fair!
Retro RWD is the way forward...........automotive fabrication, car restoration, sheetmetal work, engine conversion
retro car restoration and tuning

Shit - so I'm guessing that was the main contributor then. Tyre pressure seems to be pretty critical on these things!!!
Market Harboro huh!  - I used to frequent that place lots when younger - for certain er.. wares...
