that crash was insane....i had lowsided in 4 the lap before that and was sitting right by the ambulance when the guy went down. after the bike blew up bud durgin (who was shooting right next to me) started running toward it, turned around to me "and you thought YOU were having a rough day" and kept going haha.

it was weird scraping piles of melted plastic off the pavement. I felt so bad for the guy.

If I end up with a new R6 I'll definitely be getting these sliders. I figure the only reason they are so expensive is because people will pay it to protect their bike. You could argue price about any race part, the markup is insane...but you pretty much HAVE to have it if you want to race.
