What else happend in the rain Bill..........................................hahahahahahahahaha
My dumb moment was It was a Friday practice and raining. I last min decided to go out and have at it. I had my tires swapped over and came back to the pits to try and make it out for the last 20 min of open practice. Two fellow teamates told me to get dressed and they would put my wheels on for me. I changed and came out of my trailer and they handed me my bike and said "your all set, hit it" So being there was only 20 min left I proceded down twords the gap in the fence where they have the winners from the dash meet. Banged second gear on the way and went to slow down to make the gap in the fence.......................well no front brakes and grabbed the rear brakes and nothing so I made a last second decision to head for the minty new chain link fence at the end of the road rather then the concrete block building and whamo!, broken hand and concussion later I gather my self up and look around on the ground for my pride (my first expert year) and ride back to our pit. When I got back from practice so early my teamates asked what are you doing back? I responded with "umm no one pumped my brakes back u and I just smoked the fence". I was then told I should have checked them before I left ( yes I should have but come on) and was sent back out for practice after the bike was squared away, not knowing I had a concussion. Well I made it to turn 3 lap one and biffed it and decided I should take the rest of the day off. what a shitty day that was and poor Tommy's new fence sure took it hard. Lesson learned , will not let anyone touch my wheels again and muscle memory check my brakes on the way out.
