"I’m sorry about the crash, it definitely affected the good work we’d been doing. Thankfully I didn’t hurt myself, just took a hit to the butt, which is odd since I landed more face-first! On the second bike, we had a small issue with the ride-height device not working properly, which also cost us something. But overall, the bike is working well. We’re still struggling a bit with front-end feel under braking, but after the work done in testing, stability has improved and so has traction, historically our biggest issue. If we can fix that one small problem — and the guys in the box already have a few ideas — I think we can do well."
