Luke Mossey’s JT Performance Triumph hit a sharp bend and travelled 30ft into the skies before coming to rest 50ft down a ravine at the British Superbike Championship at Brands Hatch, yesterday.
Mercifully the rider had come off the bike, worth £40,000, just before it took to the skies. Wipe-out: Luke Mossey's JT Performance Triumph takes to the skies after taking a tight bend at Brand's Hatch yesterday
Head over heels: The £40,000 bike spun upside down before falling 50ft down a ravine
But luck was on his side as he escaped any trace of injury in the horrifying wipe-out.
He told Superbike magazine: ‘I slid off and the bike went into the gravel trap and the next thing I know it’s taken off.
‘The MoTec dash was smashed, the subframe was gone, but the engine was OK.
‘Luckily the forks were OK too. Looks like the tree took the impact.’
