The First Rule of Chicane Days - REPAIRED!

[~Barn~]

Crashing in borrowed leathers, however, is a little less forgivable . I'm trying to get back out there for the June Chicane day, but we'll see how the bike goes.

Edit: I still feel like a humungo dufus.

On another positive... If you can get the leathers to somebody who can repair them, then you have yourself a set going forward, and you can reimburse Wayne or whatever.

Was the guy on the monster the one who crashed in turn 10? I though he was on a 916 or something similar. Anyways I say the guy who crashed in turn 10 at the end of the day up and walking around. He did have his arm in a sling though.

He is alright for the most part, cracked 3 ribs and broke 1, and tore something minor they said in his shoulder. He just trail broke a bit too long going into 10 and lost the front. It was his first crash in 23 years... it was a good run. Definitely a bad day for Ducati's mine had a really bad chatter in the front end so it sat most of the day.

I will have to reimburse Wayne as I feel that the leathers may have contributed to the crash. They were a touch on the small side and I was having a lot of trouble getting my weight around on the bike because of it.

Glad to hear the guy on the Duc is ok. That bike looked fucking mangled when we were leaving.

The bike is actually good, only the right side fairing and the break lever. Thankfully b/c he was using my other wheels too...lol

[Zach929rr]

Good deal. Also, on a side note, why the fuck are rear brake levers $90? Sigh.

[Sean]

Yes, Sean, there is a possibility that the throttle got a little happy on me.

One of the lessons I learned in the "Rybo School of Awesomeness" is that, fast doesn't egual good lines, but good lines equal fast.

But ya know what? It's ok because a) I am ok and b) the bike will be pretty easily repairable and c) it didn't happen in the canyons.

+1000 We've all had "oh shit" moments going into t.1. You are not alone my friend.

I'm trying to get back out there for the June Chicane day, but we'll see how the bike goes.

Hope to see you that day Get back up on the horse.

Yep, he caught me belly surfing through 7 in a race last year.

He almost got me changing out of my long underware in the middle of t.7. I "thought" no one was looking...but there was Marc

You have to watch out for that sneaky guy . . .

Hehe on another good note, at least for a while, you shouldn't need to use your rear brakes. Were you using the rear brakes on the track?

No, it's just bent up from the crash. Guess I could just take it off?

[konichd]

Heal up Zach! Chicks are going to fuckin' dig that right arm at the Tech day

[Slo]

Let me check to see if I have an extra brake lever that might work, you will want something at least in place for the spacer (for the peg). If you go with aftermarket rear sets, it will come with a rear brake lever though.

All riders who crashed are ok, including our contestant in turn 10.

And all of which received lovely parting gifts.

No, if you go off in the dirt you'll want a rear brake.

Update: Just plugged the sub harness back into the ignition. Engine will crank but not hook-up. Looks like I will be checking for spark today.

Unfortunately, the cluster got fucked in the crash so I can't have it self-diagnose for fuel problems. Argh.

[McVaaahhh]

Thanks Brian! Dick.

You're welcome.

Glad to hear, I was packed up and moving out when I heard it happen, and didn't see him up and about so just wanted to make sure it was nothing too serious. Ribs are a bear though, he probably won't be putting on any leathers anytime soon...

[racedk6]

and some new god damn rear sets that won't scrape.

Body position could have been your problem. From what I can tell this was your first time out... Most riders that go out to the track for the first time their body position is way off. I have even seen people that take multiple classes and still could use better positioning.

Probably a heavy contributing factor. I'm more mad now that I can't figure out why the bike won't start and can't use the cluster to self diagnose. After looking up prices on parts, I don't think this thing will be out on pavement anytime soon.

[Slo]

Maybe these will help locate parts? Also the obvious, ebay, craigslist, cbr forums, etc....

This is turn 7. Bring Sash a sandwhich

That was probably the only that kept me from breaking down after the crash, Sash. Lol.
