Poor old Peter managed to end up in a head on collision a couple of miles from my house. I was riding behind him and saw it all happen in slow motion. It was truly horrific to watch. The R1 didn't make the corner, went into the oncoming lane in slow-motion, then slammed into the oncoming car with a terrific noise, causing an explosion of R1 parts to shower across my path. As I rode through the debris, just missing the spinning R1 I watched in horror as Peter was thrown some 20m down the road.. I pulled up in the oncoming lane, blocking traffic to protect Peter lying in the road and ran back thinking the worst. Can't quite believe that somehow he ended up with just a cut finger and some bruising (well, pending a full check-up later today!). He's very very very lucky to have survived, I've never seen anything like it. It's not worth thinking about what would have happened if he didn't manage to ditch it and seperate from the bike just before impact

The police turned up, so did the fire brigade, they did an excellent job of cleaning up the mess and putting Peter at ease and talking us both through the shock.

Basically we were never meant to make that trackday. I am beyond caring about the trackday now, just very happy that nobody was hurt, it could have been a hell of a lot worse.

I'm sure Peter will appreciate some good wishes and comments about his misfortune to cheer him up when he comes back from the hospital if you feel like posting below!

To show that no Peters were (seriously) hurt in the making of these photographs here's a picture of the proud owner of a new 'short-wheelbase' R1..
