Hello everyone,
Had my second trackday with Fun Track Dayz at Thunderhill 5 mile. I dropped my bike on my 4th session of the day right before lunch. I was having really good sessions before that, kept speeding everything up, was on my fastest lap, all by myself in C group, and came in to turn 1 on the West side (right hander with double apex, leads into the transition to east side) with some good corner speed, let the clutch out a little too quick after double shifting down, unsettled the front end, started getting some wobbles, so I stood it back up and went for the dirt, had a handful of brakes so as soon as it went into the dirt, it went down quickly. Broke some farings, hose from brake res to master cylinder is broken, the front faring stay is tweaked and bent like a mutha fucka (smash allen suggested gerry from GP frames, don't know who that is, but I will look around on barf for him), rear brake lever is bent, and some scratches everywhere. Overall, not a bad crash, and I came out with only bruises and a headache. Anyone know who this gerry/Jerry is?
Got a screenshot here of my Mph data for the lap right before my crash lol
Here are some pics of the worst of the damage...not too bad I think, Considering.
Bent/tweaked front faring stay;
