ill have to keep this short since I am typing with one hand, but I went to willow springs international raceway today, ran some laps and crashed in T3 at about 90mph. Bike is fucked along with my ankle and shoulder. Dr said major sprain and a seperated shoulder... ill be out of commission for a while.

well the main things are headlight, subframe, and upperframe stay. I found those on ebay for about 150 each... that doesnt include any of the blinkers, fairings, exhaust, and other things that I have to inspect and see if they will need to be replaced. If I work Ebay right, I could possibly get her ont he road for under 1000. Just takes time and patience, neither of which I have.

First and foremost, I am glad to see you came out of this relatively ok. Crashing is a harsh reality when doing track days; it is bound to happen eventually. How bad is the damage? I know you shed a tear or two. Hell, it's better than shedding some limbs. I'm going to stop telling you to be careful because it seems everytime I do, something happens. :D

Nevermind about the damage. I just read what you listed above.

blinkmeat 11-27-2005 02:47 AM

Fuck that hurts the wallet a bit - if you don't wait what do you think?

Zot09 11-27-2005 02:49 AM

What matters is that you are fine, thank God.

bmagni 11-27-2005 03:05 AM

(and improve your driving skills :P)

Get well soon! Accidents happen. Get back on the bike!

TT 11-27-2005 05:20 AM

Dang, it sucks a bit for the bike which you had for just a short while, but what's important is that it wasn't too bad for you! Hope to see you dragging keens again soon!

taygunho 11-27-2005 05:44 AM

soory to read this. get well soon.

astonmartinandy 11-27-2005 06:01 AM

Dude sometimes you gotta look to the positive - at least you're still able to type this now.

Give it some time and you'll be able to get yourself and the bike back together..

Sorry to hear about the crash mate.
As long as you learn something about your limits then it will not be in vain.
Big props to you man; you did it in a relatively safe environment.
Hope the recovery if smooth and that you will be back out there soon.

leo_26782 11-27-2005 08:06 AM

Sorry to hear that. I hope you recover quickly
