Saacattack Posted June 27, 2012 Author Report Share Posted June 27, 2012 You couldn't have stood the bike up and said it just died on the freeway? Ran out if gas? I mean, if you told the trooper you laid it down then you kinda deserve the ticket....I wasn't saying I didn't deserve it, but it's stupid but fair statement of failure to control vehicle. I should have told him hit died and the scratched were there from my track day I did monday. But as soon as i told him, i was like fuuccckkkk, i should have said that! instead Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gixxus Christ! Posted June 27, 2012 Report Share Posted June 27, 2012 There ya go. Cops lie, so lie to them every chance you get.

lobsta954 Posted June 27, 2012 Report Share Posted June 27, 2012 (edited) [ATTACH]3092[/ATTACH]Glad to see your ok man...Sucks to have that happen after a track day and to get a ticket on top of it. (and failure to control is a 2 pointer as well as a pretty hefty fine) Did you have frame sliders on it? They are a really good investment, but don't go cheap. The cheap ones will break apart. This pic was from M-O, 2 years ago when put it in the gravel at turn 10. GRAVEL broke the $30 frame slider I had on, so I know the pavement would've ate it up. I bought some good ones after that just in case I go down again. Sliders are a lot cheaper than replacing the engine case.Don't listen to twowheelsnake, I got $3000 for my 03 CBR954, 2 years ago when I wrecked it. They wrote it off as as being totalled, I bought it back for $700 and used the rest to turn it into the track bike you see.

ScubaCinci Posted June 27, 2012 Report Share Posted June 27, 2012 Curious as to how it happened and what kind of gear you were wearing? Glad to see you are (mostly) ok! It's a good time for upgrades on the bike Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Saacattack Posted June 27, 2012 Author Report Share Posted June 27, 2012 I had frame sliders on my last bike and just decided not to this time around. But when i got this one I just decided against it. It's not that bad. I can just reprint them because they are usable Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Saacattack Posted June 27, 2012 Author Report Share Posted June 27, 2012 I was exiting off 270 east getting on 315 north. There was a bunch of gravel in the middle and right side of the lane. And gravel, I mean small but large pieces. As soon as i saw them i braked a little bit just to obviously reduce speed let off the breaks and then i went to the left and couldn't make the turn still so I kept going straight and I was in grass and then the rear wheel went out from under me and I let go and got up lol. I was wearing my helmet, race gloves and boots and my cortech latigo 2 piece suit. The leather has small scraps but still usable. But money I've spent so far.

But money I've spent so far.If I remember correctly I think there is some kind of electrical substation right there with a gravel driveway leading to, probably where the gravel came from,a service truck pulling out of there back onto the ramp probably dragged it out onto the ramp. Or I suppose a dump truck could have simply lost it too.BTW, glad you are okay!EDIT: Just looked on google earth, the substation I remember is on the other side of the road inside the cloverleaf when going 315 south to 270E.

Blitz Posted June 28, 2012 Report Share Posted June 28, 2012 (edited) I worked for a towing company as a dispatcher when I was 16 or so. There are no laws that require towing companies to call the police. If the towing company gets on scene first and find the accident requires traffic control then they will call for that purpose.Local towing companies are also on a rotation within police jurisdictions to respond to accidents requiring towing and cleanup. But that's only if the police are there first. Edited June 28, 2012 by Blitz Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
