Tom, you are totally cool enough to hang out with me at the track should ever our paths cross. Anybody who goes through that and gets back out there to tear it up for three more sessions is my kind of rider!
+1 on getting a track bike, it's nice having a bike that you don't have to worry about financially. When I'm out on the track the only things on my mind are:
A. getting through the next corner.
B. getting around who ever is in front of me.
...bah got to quit thinking about riding, summer is pretty much over here

Glad you're ok.. And since this one is now 'prepared' for track days for a while (as not a cheap fix), start investing in to a new busa that's already fixed for street driving.. 'hint'. I'm hoping to pull a stunt like that myself.. haha.
Wow, sorry about your bike, but glad to hear you are ok.
Yes sir I do... I will be bringing it to the Bash (that was our agreement 
)! And thank you forthe assist back in April!

Thanks for the kind words everyone. I'll know in the next couple of day what all it'll take to fix it.
Was looking at a couple of parts places yesterday (not Zuk directly) and the nose and tail plastics alone were right at $1000. I was hoping for maybe a $1500 or so bill, but looking more and more like closer to $2500.:unhappy:

Glad you're ok man!
Buy a nice new / used Busa, and You could have just created your dedicated track bike!
Or this could be an awesome alternative to fixing her back up..

Big Kudos to you manRode 3 more sessions.
Unplugged all the wiring and stripped the busted nose off, and went out like this..
Yes, they alternate the lap direction ever so often. Basically, makes two tracks out of one. CCW is the "normal" direction, but the other time I was here, they ran it CW. So, it was a totally new track in the different direction.
When I came back out for the first "after crash" session, it was pretty shakey, no confidense at all. But by the next one, and a small adjustment to the tire pressure, it was starting to come back to me.
By the third (and last) session, everything was getting real close to back on line again.
Since the bike is broken for street usage for a bit, I'll probably hit another trackday before the season is over this fall.
I'm not easily discouraged.
I could never go back out on the track after wadding a beauty like that up 
Thats why my street bikes never see the track. If I ever get a track urge I'll get a track only bike thats expendable, and I have no problem crashing, not one of my pristine street machines......just couldn't bear that ::9
