I went to the Marlboro Masters at Zandvoort, it must have been 1999, I'm not sure. As it was the Marlboro master, there was this demonstration with Mika Salo in the Ferrari, Tommi in the Mitsubishi and Max on the Yamaha. Max tried to do a riding burnout from the pits. So he stopped his bike at the end of the pitlane. As soon as he started the burnout, the bike went away from him. But because Max held on to the handlebars, the bike dragged him for a couple of yards, before falling full on his face. As I am a massive Yamaha fan, I was wearing a Max/Yamaha cap, so it was pretty embarrasing for me as well.
