it's a design flaw - the corner of the gas tank sticks out past the frame and, as you can easily see, grounds right through in a crash. There are now 'tank protectors' out there and our race club just passed a rule that they're required on '07 & '08 R6's for that very reason. Let's hope they work.

Some have tested well. WERA made them mandatory too.

Something else to add to the list...tank protectors...steering damper...:read:

Well this goes without saying. Only the manliest of manlies wouldn't run. And we all know that is neither you or I.

z06boy 03-24-2008 02:10 PM

I would say fire + gas + possibility of getting run over...if you don't run you're not manly...you're stupid or crazy or both. :lol:

The title of the vid is retarted. That doesn't make me think twice about going to a track day. Stuff like that happens. I might as well post a vid of someone getting robbed and title it "This might make you think twice about going outside."

Excellent assessment.
