Ok - I'll bite.. either you or the bike were out witted by the turn... so which was it?

Admitting you made a mistake (which means in that bend on that day at that moment - you were out of your depth is rather sign of maturity and strenght - not weakness...

I think the problem may have been the tires, I prefer the d207 my self, I had gone through two sets of each, michilen, and dunlop, and always liked the dunlop, unless
I slaped on my dot race tires.

btw I got a pair of dot race tires for sale

I think I fell because of the m-1's under accelleration out of the turn. I was suppose to have pilot race tires, but right before I put them on they failed my inspection and I didnt have time to get new ones.

Hmmm.. not saying anything here.. but only a bad craftsman blames the tools..

So you high-sided under throttle?

Over riding/driving tyres or conditions is really not a problem with the equipment... right?

Afterall, the the truly great race drivers/riders adapt to the equipment.. hehehe - now all of us here are rank amateurs and bound to make mistakes every now and again...

"I over-drove it" is a valid and legitimate explanation...

I never said I was a good driver. So I will say this. I am a shitty rider, I do not even compare to the majority of the world, and that is why I crashed. With this in mind, I plan on purchasing a mini-van and that will be my mode of transportation for both recreation and commuting.

Must be the codeine typing... -- We all know you have already picked out the replacement bike for the R6 - you were in fact doing this as they were patching you up

BTW - if you search hard enough you will find a bunch of "knee down" out the drivers door of a mini-van pictures, so it can be done

went back to the docter for a follow up today. I guess I have some cracked ribs and torn muscles to add to the previous injuries already mentioned. a photographer managed to get a pic of me before I went down though.

Not true.

Stupid people push-crash push-crash... wise racers riders "test" the edge and improve.

You only win if you finish.

well to test the edge, you have to push to know where it is!!
push-crash, push-crash is not the way to do it.

You hurt yourself, damage equipment and never win championships that way.

Pushing till you fall off is simply showing you don't know where the boundaries are - because if you did you would feel them and know what the next step would be.

I am sorry - but you will NEVER convince me that only crashers can win - while the odd crash on your way to perfection is unavidable, the real skill is knowing the feel of an impending erroneous situation and then getting around it - either buy asking for an equipment improvement - or backing off and realising the limits of the pilot/equipment combo has been reached...

eithe way I was no where near the edge. I found out the other day my tire pressure was way too high for the track and set up for street. That is why I went down.
