DrEvil3264 Posted September 29, 2005 Report Share Posted September 29, 2005 Well it went pretty well other then the little crash i had on the second session. I lowsided on the apex of turn 5, my front tire got lodged inbetween where the concrete and asphault meet, mid ohio needs to repave cuz that shit sucks. Well, after the wreck all it did was scratch the fairings a little tiny bit but broke the rearset on the shifter assembly. I spent all lunch hour trying to find a replacement, luckily someone had one so i got to ride the rest of the day and ended up only missing a half hour of track time, considering i wrecked going around 70-80 mph id guess, my bike looks like i crashed going 5. Vortex frame sliders worked wonders and when it slid into the mud it cushioned it. Well heres some pictures, i got much faster than i was last time since this was the intermediate group, but i have some suspension issues that i need to work out. http://www.photoreflect.com/scripts/prsm.dll?eventorder?photo=0AOU000W060099&start=0&album=0&adjust=-1 http://www.photoreflect.com/scripts/prsm.dll?eventorder?photo=0AOU000W060410&start=0&album=0&adjust=-1 http://www.photoreflect.com/scripts/prsm.dll?eventorder?photo=0AOU000W060468&start=0&album=0&adjust=-1 http://www.photoreflect.com/scripts/prsm.dll?eventorder?photo=0AOU000W080316&start=0&album=0&adjust=-1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chad is Dead Posted September 29, 2005 Report Share Posted September 29, 2005 glad you didnt fuck your bike up much and seems like a pretty good time.....once i get enough money I'm gonna get a bike to take to track days and practice corners...my bike right now would eat shit cuz of the crash cage.

DrEvil3264 Posted September 29, 2005 Author Report Share Posted September 29, 2005 yeah, part of the reason i crashed was my suspension isnt set up right, its stock as of now. I think too many wheelies have maybe knocked it out of wack lol, so it was too soft. Other guys were hitting the same area i was and thier suspension would soak it right up, so im getting race fairings, steel braided brake lines, and my suspension set up before the next one.

RedRocket1647545505 Posted September 29, 2005 Report Share Posted September 29, 2005 I've always wondered. Why do track bikes have their head/tail lights covered up or replaced all together? What's the reason behind that? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
owndjoo Posted September 29, 2005 Report Share Posted September 29, 2005 so if you wreck the pieces of glass/plastic dont go all over the track. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
