You should fix your thread title.   :D
And the sugar fountain fairy swore so hard when she came to super-size that stale hope soybean; liiiike a homeless German woman. Who is this super-sizing spirit-crushing femme? And tell her I'll break a tree root up in her shrimp.

Being faster than you thought possible…it feels good. No, screw thatâ€"it feels like shotgunning a gallon of adrenaline and chasing it with an all-night orgy aboard a burning Viking boat.

Ouch!  But that's what he gets for wearing white boots.   :D

Seen it before, great photo sequence, really shows what went wrong and what he did to make it worse (IE: chopping the throttle).

Real question is: when are you going to show us how to ride your 675?  ;D
First they came for the Socialists, and I did not speak out-- Because I was not a Socialist.
Then they came for the Trade Unionists, and I did not speak out-- Because I was not a Trade Unionist.
Then they came for the Jews, and I did not speak out-- Because I was not a Jew.
Then they came for me--and there was no one left to speak for me.

Every time I meet a new group of your friends that understand you and your weird sense of humor I'm a little more amazed that there are other people in the world like you that lived through childhood - My loving girlfriend

Not sure he could have avoided the highside - it was probably over before he knew it.

Real question is: when is my wife going to let me out of the house are you going to so you can show us how to ride your 675?  :-[

Fixed that for ya! [laugh]

I'm hoping Steve and I are finished with the Monster's suspension on Saturday (you know how it is with two tards working on a bike ;D) and that there's time left over to set the suspension as best I can for the Daytona. Uggghhh...then I'm gonna have to choose which sweet ride to bring for Sunday. [bang] [laugh] [laugh]

I didn't read the entire triumpth675.net thread for other observations/comments, but it looked like to me it would have been a benign enough low-side had he not try to save it by counter-steering.  Of course it all happens in an instant, and I would have probably reacted the same way (assuming I could ever achieve that kind of lean angle).  

Incredible sequence of photos.  Thanks for sharing.

Tony tony, it was right in his first post:

"So I was trying a different line into Turn 9, which is a bit off camber. The area was also a bit dusty.

Even though I wasn't going all that fast, I think I gave my SV650 just a little too much throttle for the lean angle I was at and accounting for the dust on the track. Here is the result:"

-Throttle's on the right, so are the brakes.  Good luck.
