Yep. I was pushing hard riding with a couple good friends, I passed them on the outside of Turn 1 at Jennings, and shortly thereafter I tucked the front and lowsided. Right in front of them. At about 110mph. Thankfully I was knee down so I didn't have far to fall!

Now here's the thing, yes, I crashed. At a VERY high rate of speed. And I walked over to my bike (once I finally stopped sliding!), picked it up, waited for the crash truck, put a new rearset on and went back out next session. I lowsided on the street at about 55mph and got so screwed up I got a med-discharge from the Army.

When you're on the track you're usually riding at pretty damn close to 10/10th's pace, and when you're pushing your skill to that edge sometimes shit happens .
