holy questions batman!

I am fine, the gear did its job, held up great. this is the 3rd time I have been down with these leathers (Joe Rocket Speedmaster suit), gloves(A* GP Techs) and boots (A* SMX Plus). I have a few bruises.. and a pretty bad bruise on my elbow/forearm, but nothing broke. ego hurt a little more.

Bike is okay, needs new upper (already ordered), brake lever (crg levers ordered), and rear set ( ordered as well).

there is some rash - I am debating painting it and getting new stickers to make it mint again.

This happened at Summit Point Main.

I was coming to the brake markers.. at the second one in, i started my down shifting and braking. with the twin the engine braking is AWESOME. As i was getting into 2nd gear, it went into netutral instead. I was expecting some engine braking and had none, I grabbed a handful of brake, finally got it in second, and just dove into the turn. I knew i would run super wide, but felt I was going to make it. I was trail braking and the front tucked

My biggest issue is coming into a turn after a long straight - I need to really figure that out

 

i heard it was an rc51 crashfest this weekend... Someone's motor siezed taking down a couple behind him and 2 others went down pushing too hard. you guys aren't making me anymore comfortable with doing my first track day there...

 

yeah.. in the first B session the rc51 crashed.. and started it for all the twins haha

you will be okay - when is your track day?

 

june 4 - a monday with STT. I'm going with several friends (experience varies from beginner to A group)

 

meh - just ride with your own pace - whatever your head allows you to.

i still feel I could have made the turn with no issues had it not gone in neutral.

 

yeah I'm gonna have to say that it probably didn't help to be in neutral

 

Any crash you can walk away from is a good crash to have.

Glad to hear you're ok. Sorry to hear about your underoos.

 

good to hear you're alright and nothing is too messed up!

If you crash in front of me I will drag you off the track and whip yo' ***!

im sure it will sell now with no problem you really seem to make it out to the track an awful lot. i might have to look into some safety wiring tutorials...

For track days it's not super important as long as your bike is well maintained, but
Safety Wire FTW
