My Mom took the picture.
It was at a motorcycle racing school, on track and classroom.
We had practice alone with pro's watching and grading us.
Then the moment came we were all waiting for.....they let us loose and we raced each other around the track.
I'm about to lap a guy, we're heading into the last turn, a fast right hander in front of the grandstand with all our friends and families watching...
He brakes late, enters the turn too late and has no room to exit the corner.
He runs out of track at about 70 mph coming onto front straightaway...hits the gravel and goes down 20 feet just to the left and in front of me.
It turned out ok though...minor damage to bike, none to rider, except his pride and wallet.
