Ha, I didn't know you crashed Moe, I just assumed.

Hey ... speaking of crashes ... http://www.onsightproductions.net/

Click on the May 8th Cascade Track Time... and then on the Crash link... shows the MV Agusta stoppie whipe out.... insane... plus the bike is sitting in the shop at MotoCorsa right now. I would not wish that on anybody. Plus, his insurance may not be covering off on any of it.

Is the rider okay? That looks really bad, messed up!

His bike is completed shot, Kent got a great series of photo's from the crash.  He mentioned submitting them to road racing world crash page.

He is ok, and a really nice guy.  He was in good spirits even tho he yarded his only means of transportation. 


Maurice

Wait... that MV F4 was the rider's only vehicle?

Ouch, that sucks.  :-\

Those photos are pretty gnarly.  Wish the previews weren't worthlessly small...

Glad to hear he's okay, though.

If Kent isnt cool with this I will remove them

Sweet looking get off, glad he was not seriously injurded.

I'll go 25 bucks towards his next set of wheels  :)

In the other pics it looked to me like the MV landed on him.

Looks like he went grass trackn' and tried to bring it back to the track instead of standing it up.....

no?

The pics not shown... show him grabbed too much front and doing a stoppie... then he lets go and ends up in the grass and is still fighting it... then all hell breaks loose.

oh...ok.... that seems more "reasonable"

there are two or three flips between each of those photo's

to me it appeared he was off track and sliding then got back on the track and had too much front brake

He went wide in T3, ran into the dirt (a little) and instead of simply standing it up, he lost the back and it hi-sided him into the dirt.  Riders behind him say they saw a huge dust cloud, then he popped out, then his bike and they were like WTF is going on!  :) 

The kid was in great spirits after yarding such a nice bike, surprisingly, but I guess what else could he do.  :)

oh and Jacob sucks!

Mo - I wish you guys could have checked out the track from our view point... you could easily have seen which lines were safe and which had standing water. Something that is hard to do at speed... but easy to do from the corner worker side. From the turn three corner podium... you could see 1-4 and which lines were safe. You could spot who was going to slide by where they tried to pass. It wasn't fun knowing that people were going to go down. Glad none of you got hurt.

Escaping death can do that. 

Just looking at the pics I can't imagine how insane it must have looked to see that bike flipping through the air as he cartwheeled right in front of it.  I'm really glad he's OK.  As to insurance, sometimes they pay and sometimes not.  It often depends on whether you were racing or not, street or track.  A race is a race and a track day is not, though I'm sure the final decision is at their discretion.  I know a guy who wadded up his BMW M3 on a track day and the insurance paid out.  I hope his does too.

Scott

The insurance thing may be tricky, his angle is this was considered a closed course motorcycle training session.  This may be just the angle he needs.  This is in no way shape or form racing, or race practice.  This is a controlled instructor lead track day.  :)

Stick it to the man!

oh and Jacob still sucks!

Sounds like a good story to stick with.

according to Arun and the Dainese guy track days are considered rider training and races void all insurance and warranty s on your bike.

So it depends only on what he tells the company; 1)I was in rider training and crashed (good)
                                                                        2) I Millered turn three while racing (bad)

"millered"

That is an AWESOME term

"millered" ... I actually had to think about that one twice before laughing... I am getting slow in my old age.

Hey... Chuck... go to:   www.onsightproductions.net and then the OMRRA 5/11 650GPT race.... at picture #148... there is a long string of pics showing Mr Ninja racer sliding out in the rain... on the last corner of the last lap.... he was fighting it out with the other Ninja .. back and forth... she passed him on the inside of 8 and he tried to get it back in 9.... and slid out.... got pretty close to hitting the air fence... and not much damage to the bike. They all looked like they had a ton of fun.  I swear... we need to race them 250's... should sell my sv to get into that class... he he he.

I think that 705 is bored out a bit.

Cuz it was pulling on that rider who crashed in 9 on the straits, and that guy is way littler than that woman....

I'm workin on it . . . I need a bike for ~$1K.  Or someone willing to sell me one on a low monthly payment basis.   [moto]

I was looking at some race prepped 600s earlier for 1/2 the F'n price of a 5 year old 250!

 [bang]

Problem is, you can't really get the greatest tires for those neenjas.

Wrong!!! They put two front tires on the bike... a front tire for a race bike works best on the rear of the ninjas!!! See... you learn something new everyday.   ;D

Why do i suck?
