Title: report from hastings
Post by: ZLTFUL on June 20, 2009, 04:32:54 PM
First off, let me say that motorsports park hastings in nebraska is an incredible facility. Great owner and fabulous track with one of the grippiest surfaces I have ever ridden...
That being said, I lowsided very hard coming out of turn 13. Broken rib, severely bruised shoulder and a slaughtered ego because I was being evaluated for a bump to I.
Was drifting wide at full lean with knee on the deck and leaned a bit more but rolled on the throttle just enough to break grip and down she went.
Bike is structurally fine. Both rearsets and the right clipon is toast. The right peg caught the groove between the track and the rumble strip and flipped hard.
On my bb now...will add more later.

Yow, broken ribs suuuuuck.  Glad it's not worse.  I hope they gave you happy drugs.   Make sure to take them with whatever the bottle says not to take them with.   [evil]

The doc here only gave me big ass ibuprofen and recommended I see my normal md when I get home. So I hung out with the NESBA CRs in the paddock last night, took one of those and did a few sake bombs. Felt wonderful until about 4:30 am when I had to redose. Going to start packing up and head for home before noon.
