Cadwell Park 2006 Coming into the Hall Bends complex (great for a low CG FF) after the track session had finished, the front end washed out. Onlookers said that a GSXR suzuki had gone through earlier dripping coolant. One of the Morinisti following had nearly gone down. I was unfortunate to hit the slippery stuff off-throttle slowing down, not even trying to keep up with the bunch of riders in front. Strange thing is I "fell out" almost immediately as the Voyager hit the ground, legs splayed and it was my leathers that saved the day rather than the bodywork - Could have been a lot worse. Mental note - when designing my own FF - must have either seat belt/leg restraints or some form of seating that prevents fallout and enhaces crash survivability
