Shouldn't this be in the "who's crashed thread"? . Kidding of course. Good to see you made it out with a smile. Impressive photos.

Glad to see you are alright and nothing is too bad. I think it's actually good to show these type of photos, it shows others why we wear the gear when riding. It really does save your butt. Imagine what your wound would look like without any armor padding or abrasion resistant cloth to take most of the impact.
Any damage done to the bike since it fell?

And here I thought it was cool that someone got pics of me spinning out in my car last weekend. Dude, you win crash of the week! And yeah about the gear, I'm a little surprised at the road rash there even with race leathers. I want teflon coated kevlar so I'd just slide easy and no scraping and the bonus of being bullet proof!

Good to see you're smiling though it. What happened? Couldn't tell from the photos but it looked like you were sliding in front of your bike. High side?
This is a great example of why tracks demand full gear. It's not a choice.

the bike did better than me.
Buells crash really well. DAMHIK.
me and the medics were able to put me back together and me and my pit crew (Mrs. Jenkins) worked on the bike to get it to pass tech inpection for the rest of the sessions, most importantly the sessions under the lights!
note the black duck tape holding my visor on

speed???????
not sure. I cover up my speedo. And my perception is not that good. going fast on the street does not even compare to going fast on the track.
Thats turn 3 @ Nashville super speedway. It s is a tight switchback turn. That is the slowest turn in the course, My guess is 60. I do know my top speed that night was around 140mph (and im on one of the slowest bikes ) every time I passed the start/finish line on the front str8. Good thing I stayed on during that part.
This is a shot from the first session from the exact spot I lost control.

ME TOO! I called my daughter to show her "looking through the corner." We also both thought, "If we remove the center stand, get going really fast, push right..."siobhan wrote:That is exactly what I thought.

Oh my gosh!!Leeroy Jenkins wrote:"have you had any issues with it not being there to "protect" the underside of your buddy?"
i just hang off the bike more in the corners so the bud is more upright, no scrapes. like the guy on the panda
The whole time I thought your avatar was REALLY you! HAHAHA! Wow how scary! I can't even imagine 140mph on a bike, talk about actually hitting those speeds.
Vroom Vroom, here I come! riding it like I stole it.

I think that that is cool that he has some funny looking guy as his avatar. Maybe that's the inner him. I had such a hard time getting my avatar the right size to fit on here i haven't gone back to change it. I def need to change it to something more creative though.louie wrote:yeah i think we're all relieved when we find that out.taile84 wrote:...
