Oh man! I could swear I heard the tips of your toes touch the bike that was filming as it went by you! As long as you're ok! :rockon:

Thanks for sharing, I really do admire your courage to get back into the game so soon. What bike were you riding? I slowed down the vid to look at the frames when the filming bike passed - it was close!.
Glad to here your not hurt as before. Please post up your findings when open her up. :thumbup:

Wow glad that turned out much better than it could have and you're alright. I don't know why but my engine seizing while riding has always been one of my biggest fears because I imagine exactly what happened to you would happen... I'm guessing the only possible recovery would be to grab the clutch so the engine's disconnected from the rear tire? I'm sure in the heat of the moment I'd probably not think of that before it's too late though.

Glad you're all right!

I read this yesterday and started to reply but didn't know what to say. One of those, "out of the pot and into the frying pan" reads. :(

I'm glad the Dr found nothing more and wish you the best in full recovery both physically and mentally. As you said, luckily a skilled rider behind you i.e. not making things worse!

As time permits I'd also like to know the gory details of why it came unglued as its not the norm. Did the rest of the bike survive?

Get well and ride on!

Glad you are ok and the fall didn't cause any more damage. Have to commend your spirit(and suggestions to others) getting back to track days after the previous spill!!

One observation from the video, it looked like there was some white smoke from your bike in the previous corner(or maybe its just lens glare). Dont know if it indicates something broken in the engine causing it to seize once you got to the straight?

Ow man that really sucks. Good you weren't on the open roads when this happened. Don't want to imagine you 'just overtake that truck' or something.
