My first Thundersport CB 500 race and I crashed 🤣🚨🚑 Brands Hatch

[@Sanemancured]

You were doing really well. Nerves played a part with the gear changing I guess. Well done!

[@DangerMouseFN]

All part of racing mate. Learn from the mistake. At least it didn't ding your can. Money saving right there 😆 keep the vids coming dude 👍

[@SuggyRacing]

Thank you. Yeah if it went on the right side I would imagine it's much worse for damage 🤣 I've got a video from Cadwell that I'm working on, so will have another coming soon 😁👍

[@DangerMouseFN]

@@SuggyRacing I came off at Paddock Hill on a cold rear tyre (first corner at Brands - downhill, fast). I wouldn't recommend it. It hurts a lot and the bike rolls. It gets expensive 😂 you got off lightly mate

[@SuggyRacing]

@@DangerMouseFN yeah definitely, can't imagine that was a pleasant place to crash, it is a quick corner!

[@FreedomBaba]

It was all going so well........ Hope you're ok. Good effort.

[@peakapex1983]

Top effort mate, another great video

[@SuggyRacing]

Cheers mate. Yeah it's good fun, hopefully I'll get better over time. I did a bit better at the Cadwell races. Some fast riders out there, makes it really fun when we are all on the same bike. 👍

[@MotoLopez1k]

Looks like you had fun! There will be better days…

[@SuggyRacing]

Yeah definitely. At least it was the last race of the weekend, would have been gutted if it was the first 🤣 I've also got a few spares with me since this happened, so I can fix bits now at the track.

[@Matt-we7si]

very easy mistake to make, great your okay , you wont make that mistake again , keep at it lad , good fun

[@SuggyRacing]

Ha ha cheers mate. Yeah it was a daft one for sure. Had such a good weekend though, love the racing!

[@TheBigIdeasMotoEngineering]

You were going very well there dude!! Shit happens that's racing !! Get back at it again ! 🤘🤘

[@SuggyRacing]

Thanks mate. Yeah done a few since then, learned so much when racing. It's good fun 😊👍

[@Scouser213]

Absolut Great 👍🏻My Respekt

[@SuggyRacing]

Cheers mate, was mega fun despite the crash

[@L4WNY..]

I did the Freetech Streetstock Endurance at the weekend on a CBR125. Loved it soooo much, I'm now buying a CB500 🥳🤣 caught the bug! 😊

[@SuggyRacing]

Yeah I bet that was fun! I would love to give that a go too! Was it chaos on track then? Yeah CBs are great fun, if you like the smaller bikes and thrashing them, you'll like the CB 👌

[@Unfunny_Username_389]

Interesting! Nice one.

[@alexromaya1]

Great videos Suggy really enjoying the content :-) You seem to be a bit like stoprak beat everyone in the braking zone nice !!!

[@SuggyRacing]

Ha ha thank you. Yeah of only I had Topraks skills. Glad you like the videos, always nice to hear people appreciate them.👍

[@WILKSVILLE]

MINT !

[@andrewburford4961]

Good video, I learned a lot.

[@SuggyRacing]

Cheers mate appreciate the nice comment 👍

[@thomas1112002]

Good to see ur ok and bike fixable and it's all about having fun I never pay to test on a Friday as if going to bin it I would rather do it in a race

[@SuggyRacing]

Cheers mate. Yeah I know what you mean. It's very easy to push and end up having an off before you even get going 🤣 Guess I'll just have to build another bike so I have one as spare. 😁 If I could get two bikes to the track easily, I would. I run out of space in my van as is it with just the one.

[@thomas1112002]

@@SuggyRacing yea it's amazing how much stuff you end up with on the weekend if you ever get the chance to come up to Scotland let me no we have a big cb500 class up here and am hoping to get down to a thundersport round at some point and will ping u a message to meet up

[@Bk_MxLife]

cracking vlog m8 shame thundersport don't allow something a bit better for the engine protection. am sure one of the lads could make a stronger cover for them.

[@SuggyRacing]

Yeah they aren't the best are they. There used to be a company who made them a bit like GB racing do, but they don't seem to be around anymore. Ideally we need to convince GB racing or R&G to make some. I'm sure people would buy them! Probably a lot involved in making them though 🤷

[@ChumiStu]

Considering it wasn’t a slow off that’s relatively minimal damage. Still a shame after all your hard work.

[@SuggyRacing]

Yeah lucky wasn't it. I had it fixed up within a weekend, ready to go again. They do crash well the CB's. Not that I want to do it often 🤣

[@qbarnes1893]

Freshman...it’s Novice....

[@SuggyRacing]

That's what it was called with Thundersport. Seniors & Freshman race.

[@filin4368]

Байк сделаешь , главное что сам жив здоров!

[@SuggyRacing]

Thank you. Yes, I managed to get if fixed for the next race at Cadwell Park 👍

[@mgoode180566]

i see your gearbox issues, which gears ? YOu totally took your eye o the ball ! lol......they crash well !

[@SuggyRacing]

Ha ha yeah I know, not the best move 🤦😁

[@mgoode180566]

Are you at the Mallory round in June?

[@SuggyRacing]

@@mgoode180566 Nah next one for me is Donington. Got too much on at home to make the Mallory race. Assume you will be doing it then?

[@mgoode180566]

No mate, I don't do the race thing

[@Interdiction]

Engine cover was very soft eh .

[@SuggyRacing]

@@Interdiction yeah those ones I had on at the time were rubbish. I've got some better ones since then.

[@rgload]

What specification and oil do you use?

[@SuggyRacing]

I use 10 / 40 liquimoly for racing with. But anything that's good quality will be fine. I've used Castrol power racing previously.

[@rgload]

@@SuggyRacing synthetic oil? Do you know if there is any problem in making the transition from mineral oil to synthetic?

[@SuggyRacing]

I'm not sure to be honest. I'm on semi synthetic which is what the manual says to use, so I doubt it would be a problem 👍

[@user-ep7gj2ck1l]

😔😔😔

[@barefootbob1269]

Falling down is not called riding the bike properly lol. To bad the bike looked so good hope you can get it back into race condition.
