2nd Track day

[DrEvil3264]

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.

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.

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.

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?

so if you wreck the pieces of glass/plastic dont go all over the track.
