Well went to the I-57 track last night to try and get my nerve back before i went to gateway. I only got 3 runs in....
First one
r/t .929
60 2.168
1/8th 7.916
106.84 mph
second run
rt/1.101
60' 2.088
1/8th 7.292
mph 112.19 (new record) using the barely close the throttle method....
So as you can see my confindence is building back up so next run i get out there Light goes green i hit it...im doing good and i get WFO....ahh shid tail swings real bad to the left then back to the right, and im like fug fug fug and it swings back to the right and when i left of it caught and i did a mini highside and began rolling down the track.
Two things about a highside
1. i think they send the rider crashing with more speed then a low side
2. The FUGGING bike follows you
.
So as im rolling down the strip every revelouting allows me to see this fuggin beast barreling behind me and getting closer and as i start to slow down i take one to the back to help me roll a little further and i finally stop rolling and the bike finishes sliding im like fug.... SO we limp the bike off to the side the damage includes.....
broken clutch lever
bent bolt on grab rail
broken windscreen.
Yup thats it just those things...once again if you dont have sliders get them.
PS Hey cache remeber when i said i wanted to go down like you buddy...thought about that shid on the way home
