r1crusher Posted August 4, 2012 Report Share Posted August 4, 2012 Great idea,but my wife will call the shop and if I'm not there I'll be in divorce court.It's cheaper to keep her !Not if you have a good attorney! I can give you a reference if you like. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NinjaDoc Posted August 5, 2012 Report Share Posted August 5, 2012 Back home, and zillion thx to jbot for the helping me with the dream of one track day atleast. Nice day, learned a lot about my bike, also realized i am no racer. prolly will be doing few more novice session to learn and never try anything above it. I prefer paced touring with my bike i guess and going to far and new destinations Nice to meet active OR fellows like link and R1, plus lot of other nice fellas. Started off with so much ideas for video and in the end didnt get any time at all, it was pretty much on the bike or in the class all the time.

fireman_343 Posted August 6, 2012 Report Share Posted August 6, 2012 (edited) I just got home from the weekend there racing the mini gp bikes on the kart track for our eastern national event. What a weekend full of crazy weather and seeing lots of cool stuff Sat was perfect.. But then Sunday came and so did the rain! Did any of u guys on the north track stay for Sunday? I heard a few bikes out on the track after lunch, but not many. Also, was the owner of that S1000RR a member here? I'm glad to see he was ok, but that bike was fooked!! My son thought it was the batman bike. That's a fast way to lose $15k! Edited August 7, 2012 by Casper Pic removed per request Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TRMN8TR Posted August 6, 2012 Report Share Posted August 6, 2012 Ouch! That sucks bad! How the heck do you bust the frame like that? And still manage to keep the forks relatively straight? Hope he has insurance on that, sure was an unfortunate incident while out riding the back roads... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
madcat6183 Posted August 6, 2012 Report Share Posted August 6, 2012 Holy shit batman, what happened? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
2thDr Posted August 6, 2012 Report Share Posted August 6, 2012 Dude wrecked in the kink on the back straight. Frame split on both sides. It was crazy. I was there on Sunday, but only stayed until noon. It was poop and I melt in the rain. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fireman_343 Posted August 6, 2012 Report Share Posted August 6, 2012 Dude it stopped raining after noon and the track dried up somewhat fast. Anyway, I rode down the pits a few times on my Repsol mini, but didn't see anyone I recognized.. But a bunch of bikes were on the track.

wantahertzdonut Posted August 6, 2012 Report Share Posted August 6, 2012 Had a great time Saturday, I think I met a few of you guys without realizing who you were. I thoroughly enjoyed running my Tuono around even though I never got out of 3rd gear. At least I feel like I can ride the thing now which is reassuring. A few of the Mini riders dropped by too to oogle my friend's VTR250. They were a cool bunch and that whole group was a hoot to watch. I may have to get into that!Speaking of, I did take his VTR out for half of session 6. Fuck that was fun!The BMW crash is a major, major bummer. I feel so bad for that guy. I really hope he can find his way out of that without taking a huge financial hit. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
blue03636 Posted August 6, 2012 Report Share Posted August 6, 2012 That BMW will probably buff out.From what I heard, he is going to fix it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
madcat6183 Posted August 6, 2012 Report Share Posted August 6, 2012 That BMW will probably buff out.From what I heard, he is going to fix it. Yeah just a little elbow grease on the weekend and I think it'll be good as new. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wantahertzdonut Posted August 6, 2012 Report Share Posted August 6, 2012 I wanted to say to him it'll buff out, but figured it was too soon.If he's making payments on it, I think he would have to rebuild it. More power to him if he fixes it. If the engine and transmission are still good, I can see it happening. The forks looked fine, so did the front brakes and rotors. Wheels appeared to be ok. If he makes it into a full-on track bike, rebuilding it might not be too bad. Getting a new frameThe frame is thetricky part, and I'm sure it'll nickle and dime him pretty hard, but what else would you do? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
J_Copeland Posted August 6, 2012 Report Share Posted August 6, 2012 That bike looks like the one that was pitted across from myself and R1's at Nelson's. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jbot Posted August 6, 2012 Author Report Share Posted August 6, 2012 so... what happened exactly? i heard something about an incident at the kink or something. did he just go off line or tuck it or what? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LINK Posted August 6, 2012 Report Share Posted August 6, 2012 WOW WTF!?!?Why would you post that pic, or even discuss???Never mind, not surprised I guess.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
r1crusher Posted August 6, 2012 Report Share Posted August 6, 2012 That bike looks like the one that was pitted across from myself and R1's at Nelson's.Nope, I believe this was a different guy. The one from Nelsons lives out near Grafton by me and hauls his in the back of his truck. This guy had an enclosed trailer and he was younger.so... what happened exactly? i heard something about an incident at the kink or something. did he just go off line or tuck it or what?Mike (Jen's (wo)man ) said he was behind him and figured he got in too hot for his comfort into the kink and grabbed a handful of brake thusly starting the series of events that lead to one $15k pile of scrap. He said it started out just sliding on it's side on the track but once it hit the grass it started it's gymnastics routine.Had a great time Saturday, I think I met a few of you guys without realizing who you were.

I really hope he can find his way out of that without taking a huge financial hit.It was nice to meet you, now that I know it was you pitting across from us at the pit in entrance. I was the one stuck working on the red gixxer. But I did get it fixed and made a good day out of it!And you freak me the hell out when you rolled out onto the track with that VT as I came through T1. I actually roll off momentarily because I wasn't sure how quickly you were going to try to "merge". Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
