too much corner speed + bad body position + cold tires=

Dude! That was one helluva lucky lowside! Glad it happened at a track as well.

Ouch! Glad you're OK. How did the bike fare? -bg

$1900 later she'll be perfect when all the parts get buttoned up!

Geez Jeff!I'm REALLY glad ya did that on the track there(considering it had to happen).She slid nice.No tumbles....glad yer okay there also(of course).Not too much bike damage....that's great!Hate to see our bikes end up like total losses.

just got the new exhaust put on yesterday, and have a mid pipe fitment issue to work out. right side mid pipe fit perfectly, and the left side has about a 1/8 inch between it and the lower outside of the chain. too close for my liking! gonna call KRtuned today and see if I just got a bad mid, or if they didn't do their R&D. I upgraded the exhaust to the KRtuned carbon fiber slip ons, and the levers to pazzo shorties, the rest is going to be the same as before.

Coolness.

Called KRtuned today and all I have to say is FUCK them! They won't stand behind their work. They discontinued the pipes and my guess is cause the mid pipe doesn't fit right. Thank god motosport is awesome to deal with on things like this.

Wow, Hows you foot, knee, elbow, ass cheek etc. Safety gear works ? Got to hand it to your camera Man those photos are Keepers.

Photo 3 & 7 looks to be Smoke from leathers.eeeeeekkkk. Two piece suit ?

Did the jacket become torn from the Zipper in the pants ? I have a two piece as well and was just wondering.

Glad your ok. Cheers and Thanks for sharing.

all is good now. hell yeah it works! not a scratch. yeah, that's smoke from the leathers, it is a two piece, not a suit bought together though. didn't have the jacket zipped to the pants.

Doh!

I'v seen more crashes in that corner then any of the others. People either lowside about halfway into it or highside quiet spectacularly on the exit. I just about flung myself once running CCW on the exit, thought I was all good and romped on it. Bike went sideways so fast both feet came off the pegs, I did a 3 min lap after that, lol.

It happens to the best of us, just knowing you are okay is the main thing. Pride can be replaced, an ACL , not really. Good luck with the repairs, look at the bright side, it makes for an excellent spring garage project...
