If you like to go fast, the tracks the place to do it. Sand, trees, mailboxes, parked cars and stone walls are baaad, umkay? Crashing at the track usually only hurts the ego and wallet.
Oh, my crash was all Gino's fault. I was behind him when he crashed going into T#3. He past the wammy on to me.
So...the tires just said 'screw you we're not sticking anymore' and jumper out from under your bike? Weird.Quote:

1, 2, 3, 6, 10, 11, 12
Turn 12, accelerating onto the straight. As soon as my rear tire touched the pavement transition from the road coarse to the nascar oval. Low side.
Hmm this topic brings back memories...
1x T1, 2x T1a, 3x T3, 3x T6, 2x T8, 1x T7, 1x T9, 1x T10, 2x T11, 1x into a garbage can in the paddock on my scooter
I should note that all crashes 100% the bikes fault
On my Husky I crashed it 4 weekends in a row. I fell off that bike everywhere. Prolly ten times total. I wanted a bumper sticker for it that said "This Bike Fell Of Mt Washington"
1 1a 2 3 8 11 and 12
8 was by far the worst. Never taken anyone out though thankfully. I was a bit reckless when I started, after I hit EX I mellowed out.

8 sucks, both times I destroyed the bike, and I felt very lucky to be in one piece when I stood up.Quote:

I drank enough gin one night that a hotel door kicked me in the forehead. Hard.Quote:

wet and on DOTs- exit of 2 (race) and 11 (trackday)
dry-9 and chicane #3
Crashed into Tricky's MadMax scooter last year in the paddock. In front of lots of people. Tho I think the impact might have fixed its electrical problem?
(And btw . . . not even a spanking?? :frown: Looks like I'll have to aim for the KTM in 2012.)
Don't threaten me with a good time! You're lucky you didn't land on the spikes. Still has the electrical problem, BTW.Quote:

Let's see...1a - practice, 2 - race (contact and starting to rain), 6 - practice, 10 - practice (wet)
For the record I crashed once last year, that was in my early days :mope:Quote:

I've crashed in T1a, T2, T3, T6, and T9
Lost the front in T1a, T3, T6 and T9 and clipped the air fence on the exit of T2, trying to pass someone.... Not proud of that one..
Once in T1a, T2
I think around four times in T3
Around three times in T6
And one painful crash in T9...
shoulda stayed upright and finished the pass :teehee:. I hit my tires on the wall on the front straight while making a pass on someone last year. I made the pass but it was kinda scary cause I kept leaning but the bike kept drifting.Quote:
