Thanks so much guys for all your well wishes. I'm really sore right now but aside from my hand that's the extent of my injuries. I was worried about my shoulder but the orthopaedic said it was just some bad contusions. I broke two bones in my left hand and suffered a mild concussion. :bash
I can't believe my season's ending like this. I had the next four weekends booked with trackdays and the Wisconsin trip and I just got my PVM's installed this week. The day looked to be a beautiful day to ride but started out very cold. It was 41 degrees at the track at 0900 this morning. Cold temp, cold track, cold tires and three turns into the first lap I'm sitting on the ground wondering wtf just happened. I was taking it very slowly to warm up the tires going maybe 25-30mph. Three turns and maybe 1/10 mile into lap 1 the rear kicked out suddenly and severely. It happened so fast I'm still not sure what happened but I know I got launched and landed on my left shoulder, head and back. I was actually going slower than I was two weeks ago in the rain there.
Right side of the bike is still perfect but the left got rashed up a little bit. It needs a new front cowl assembly, left cowl and upper and lower tail sections.
The crash protection did it's job quite well. :bow:bow:bow
The left Motovation slider was ground down but didn't break and the AGRAS engine cover worked phenomenally. Not a singe mark on the frame, swingarm or engine. The rear spool snapped off and the Gilles chain adjuster/lifter crash pads did their job. I got a couple scuffs on the Rizoma bar ends and a little paint came off the CRG clutch lever but didn't break. The left Rizoma rearset peg also broke. All in all I think the damage was minimal considering how hard I hit the ground. Not a single mark on any of the cf or my new wheels but I did get a little scrape on the left Akra can. Anyone know if I can purchase a replacement can from Akra without buying the whole Evo system:crash. I don't have a total but I'm sure it's a couple thousand:scared
I just don't want it totaled. Oh... I need a new helmet too.:bash
The good side:boobies
New wheels... I don't think the tires should wear perpendicularly.
Hard to see but the tail is split into numerous pieces.
Even gound flush the Ti D ring.
Split the cf heel guard but not a mark on the clutch slider.
You can see how much the sliders ground off.
Leathers
My dome.
Even dented the Ti shoulder cup.
My hand. Good thing it wasn't my right hand. One major fracture and a small one on my ring finger above the knuckle.
It really could have been worse. I can't imagine riding without gear. Even at these low speeds I would not have survived without helmet and leathers.:fact
