redkow97 Posted August 29, 2011 Report Share Posted August 29, 2011 I just registered. Should get rid of my orange shirt this weekend, unless I do something dumb.I only registered for B superstock, and C superbike/Superstock.If I get my shit packed Friday night, and the weather looks good for Saturday, I'll consider running the solo 20 (middleweight) on Saturday too, but finances are a little tight, and I want to race at Nelson in a few weeks too anyone else doing the WERA thing?

redkow97 Posted September 5, 2011 Author Report Share Posted September 5, 2011 Big lowside in T2 ended my day early. I walked away pretty much fine. The bike cartwheeled several times and needs a decent amount of work though! I started 12th row and crashed out of 8th place after completing 4 laps. I was riding great right up until I threw it away. Turned a personal best 1:04.38x prior to crashing. Oh well. If anyone has 600rr parts for sale, I need a fairings stay, and throttle cables. Probably more ignition side controls too. Bike cranks, but won't start. Pics to follow. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SJC1000rr Posted September 5, 2011 Report Share Posted September 5, 2011 Sucks to hear you crashed man. I skipped out due to possible rain and not being able to risk being hurt with training tomorrow. Check out the WERA discount at Honda East Toledo. If you need the login info to see pricing, PM me.

madcat6183 Posted September 6, 2011 Report Share Posted September 6, 2011 Glad you walked away boss, good luck getting the bike together. If I recall I just saw some CBR parts on WERA that you are asking about, late last week. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
redkow97 Posted September 6, 2011 Author Report Share Posted September 6, 2011 I was really nervous about the weather as well, and if i hadn't pre-registered, I probably would have bailed.Morning practice was damp. I was in groups 3 and 5. by the second time group 3 was up, I was going pretty much full-tilt though; at least as full-tilt as I ever go in practice. turned a 1:05.x or something, so there was definitely grip out there.Had I actually been able to grid for them, all of my races would have been dry. The drive home was NOT, but I was packed up and rolling out by 2:30. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
redkow97 Posted September 6, 2011 Author Report Share Posted September 6, 2011 well there's your problem...Rear wheel also ate a healthy amount of grass. I pray it's not bent. Something's missing...Oh, that would be the exhaust that snapped, then slashed my tire to the cords!This bike had a wind screen and gauges earlier. the mud on the damper is a nice addition too...

redkow97 Posted September 6, 2011 Author Report Share Posted September 6, 2011 my leathers saved my ass (and shoulder, and elbows)Doesn't look like much, but this is the first part of me to hit the ground. The shoulder has the deepest wear, if not the largest surface areaRight forearm/elbow. My arm folded under my body, so the rash is actually on top of my right forearmThe right hip is shockingly lightly worn. Note where the leather folded. I guess they're a little loose on me when i'm not in a riding position.and finally, my left elbow.There's minor wear all across the butt of my leathers, and some stuff on the right knee, but nothing major.Aside from some stitching being taken out on the right shoulder, I'm totally impressed with the wear.
