Sorry to hear about your off roading at the track. 

Good to hear that you are fine.   [thumbsup]

Have fun at DIMBY IIa.

B and I are headed to State College Friday to pick up his "new" bike and check out the STPR Rally near Wellsboro.

Bad day at the track.

Im back way early and you know what that means...

Wreck in turn 6, second session. Lowside at about 60+mph. Photogs said the guy in front of me went down in the same exact spot I did. We think there was something on the track :(

Had a pretty rockin 3rd session...

Then in the fourth session coming down the front straight the bike gave it up. I coasted off into the grass off T1.

It is either stuck in two gears or it's siezed (it did run for 15 seconds on it's side when I crashed till the other rider hit the kill switch for me )

It had also been running lean and I think it was down on power, perhaps because of the lean condition.

The bike is now at it's new home in GF's garage. With the move and then a second move on the way I'm going to forget about it. I'm done for the year :(

The ground is harder than it looks. I was wondering if I would ever stop tumbling. Leathers are scuffed but ok. Visor is shot.  Save for an abrasion the size of a quarter above the visor it's the only part of my head to touch down.

Still planning to ride to DIMBY, leaving tomorrow for americade ralley in Lk George NY with some friends then onward to NH.

Very sorry to hear all that.  I remember thinking the same thing, that it took forever to stop bouncing and rolling.

Why do roaches always die on their back?

That because the survivors flip them over to steal their sneakers and wallets.
