anyexcuse2ride · 06-14-2009, 10:31 PM

I know I dont come on this site that often, but since many people on this site helped me get started I thought it was only fair I share my first crash. I went from 9th place to 3rd by the 2nd lap and lost the rear at about 87 mph
here is a vid of a practice session (although not the crash itself) at portland international raceway, i crashed at the end of the front straight on my entry into turn one.

it is done,they are finishing the curbing and some other stuff. I have not made it out there, but this is the first day it was open. it is a very blind track and will take alot of tracktime to get it figured out.

its nice to have 3 track now near me. one is 5 miles and the others are 1 1/2 hours away.

Sorry to hear about your get-off.

Your subframe is still intact? Most Gixxers I've seen tumble have the subframe snap off.

Recommendation: Get your frame checked. When I cart wheeld the bike a few years ago (broke my forks similar to yours), the force bent the bearing race and knocked my frame 3mm short.
