Tory of the Month
as per title. My Gopro hero 3 fell off at snetterton at about 130 after something gave way. The tether didnt hold either which is a little worrying. so after i noticed it was gone i was pretty annoyed and did a walk of the track to see if i could find it the day after.
Anyway on cleaning the motorbike today i found this...

Lucky or unlucky??
Couldve caused bike malfunction at high speed that.

Sturdy bit of kit if it's survived that!
 
Jeeeez! Saw this on FB mate (well the fact you'd lost it, not the bit where you then found it)...

That could have been really bad.

Very lucky that, would have been one hell of a crunch if it got tangled in the chain!

I had the drive sprocket nut come off my R6 (known manufacturer fault, was a big recall in the USA some years ago but not in the UK surprisingly enough), to this day I have no idea how it managed to eject itself cleanly from the bike without killing me! :shocked:
