Here's some pics of my poor bike.

Are you okay?

Robert3RR · 10-03-2005, 9:34 AM

ouch...Man!! Are you alright? The bike looks really beat up how did it happen?

ReaperAZ · 10-03-2005, 9:41 AM

Yeah I'm fine, happened last month at the track.

It was bound to happen...

Mick Doohan says: "it's easier to make a rider who is falling - fast, rather than making a slow one - fast"... couldn't state it better but you've got my point. As far as you are in the first group, you are in the right track so to say..

Been down twice this year in trackdays, really pushing hard my 954 and myself, believe me Ι am with you mate

It was an awesome day for me cause I never felt on the edge so to speak. Each time I pushed it up a level it felt great. But hey **** happens and I'd rather crash on the track than the street. I'm just glad what others had told me stuck in my head and prevented a high side. I will be racing next year and want to put in some more trackdays to prepare for it. I told the girlfriend I wanted to race and got the evil eye, so who knows. If I buy her a ring, she can't say anything about it

You didn't crash it hard enough...the roll of tape never fell off your passenger peg.

ReaperAZ · 10-03-2005, 10:27 AM

Damn, I tried my best.

Dan, glad to hear you are ok. It looks like you have a lot more work than I have ahead of me. Good luck with the rebuild/repairs.

no he lowsided on the left so the tape would have stayed put. I wonder how he got it to stay on during right turns. We're gonna have to teach you how to lean that bike over instead of dumping it over.

don't buy a ring, thats money you can use to fix the bike.

Hence the reason he didn't crash it hard enough. Go back to bed, isn't it too early for you to be up yet?

Before you make such comments you may want to keep in mind that shes a fellow .org member

And thats not really a nice thing to say anyways

Makes me cringe again seeing the pics! Just glad you are with us still.

Northern RR · 10-03-2005, 4:41 PM

Looks like the Satos held up nicely other than the foot rest...any major damage to the frame? or forks? or is it just mostly "cosmetic"

sucks that you went down, but at least you were in a controlled environment and did not get run over by a tailgating cager.

Glad you are ok

Zeeman · 10-03-2005, 7:09 PM

Glad your OK, hopefully the bike is back on track sooner rather than later...
