walther_gsp Posted May 25, 2009 Report Share Posted May 25, 2009 Missed my first two sessions due to battery problems. Third session was crappy. Went down my third lap in session 4. Lowside in turn 5, the uphill off camber right hander. I was leaned over and knee down and got more aggressive with the throttle than available traction would allow.Bike ended up on the inside of T6, looks like minor damage, peg/brake levers/clipon bar.I ended up rolling a few times before I slid on my back. Ended up either spraining my right hand/wrist, or a slight fracture somewhere in my hand. Xrays showed no breaks but the amount of swelling and where the pain was had them concerned. I get to see an orthopedic doc tomorrow to find out for sure. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

At least you'll be able to ride this season still.Heal up quick boy! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

walther_gsp Posted May 25, 2009 Author Report Share Posted May 25, 2009 i blame the stripped throttle cable but that is just me fixed that before i went. i blame the jackass controlling the throttle. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zerocrash Posted May 25, 2009 Report Share Posted May 25, 2009 i blame the jackass controlling the throttle.I always seem to have that jackass to blame whenever I crash as well. Glad you're ok though. Certainly could have been worse. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
spz9 Posted May 26, 2009 Report Share Posted May 26, 2009 went and saw the bike yesterday...not too bad. however, the jackass controlling the throttle looks like he'll be off both bikes for a little while. the up side is that cleave and i may have a pit bitch for mid-ohio now... i figured i could get away with giving you a hard time since they gave you vicodin! all humor aside...hope you get some good news at the doctor and your back up in no time!
