Had enough sense to tap the rear brake, the only way to save it at that point.

Ciao Guys.

That was Max Biaggi at one of the 500cc Moto Bike GP's a few years ago.

He was crossing the finish-line, he lifted the front end and the wind caught his bike and showed him how space shuttle pilots feel before take-off on full gas....

A bit on the high side !!
