    Default It happens...

    After I don't know how many track days (12? 14?), I finally laid it down this weekend at Grattan. Simple, easy lowside, just ran out of lean angle when the corner became more off-camber near the apex. Trying to run too fast through a technical section on a track I'd never been to before.

    I did the same thing my last trackday (one year ago ). Lowsided my bike in turn 2 at Jerez. I was still slightly on the brakes leaned over and the bike just fell. Went back to the pits, hammered the right rearset straight, and was back out in the next session.

    Thanks, Nick, good to meet you as well. I'll keep Beaver in mind, not sure about how much longer the season is going to last for me, right now.

    Sucks to go down, but it looks like you made it out in pretty good shape.



    Also, I liked your little swagger as you walked off camera. It's great the way that shot worked out.

    ^^ My wife said the same thing about the swagger.

    ^ Yeah, it's not perfect anymore, but it's still decent enough.

    If you had to crash, thats the one to have

    The first trackday I went to, a guy went down two corners before the one you did (just have after the jump) and his bike spun like a ninja star too. It was funny because I could see his eyes through his visor with a big "OH SHIT!" look as he was looking to see if he was going to get run over.

    And as said...nice swagger pimp!
