TheGrouchyCat Posted July 23, 2015 Report Share Posted July 23, 2015 That's what everyone says haha I sent him an email thanks. He told me to tell him when my next track day was about a month ago so he could make it but the bike wasn't in riding condition from a lowside so I didn't want to have him show and not order anything.

TheGrouchyCat Posted July 23, 2015 Report Share Posted July 23, 2015 Sorry to hear about your incident by the way, the truck driver that tows the bikes off the track recognized me from last time, that made me chuckle. I told him in the nicest way I'd hoped I'd never have to see him again. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ludwb675 Posted July 23, 2015 Report Share Posted July 23, 2015 DOH! Heal up quick! Did the gas tank split open? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
F4iguy Posted July 23, 2015 Author Report Share Posted July 23, 2015 It's a fiberglass cover on the 600rr, so the tank itself is intact. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Limitedslip7 Posted July 23, 2015 Report Share Posted July 23, 2015 Ah, just clipped the start of the curb a bit. I've almost done that a few times right there, guess I know what happens now if I do... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bacolmm Posted July 23, 2015 Report Share Posted July 23, 2015 Made a dumb mistake and earned a trip to the ER. Broken collarbone, everything else seems OK. I was having a great day until then. Pics and vid to come. Sorry to hear that! I helped them unload your bike. I was pitted not far from you (Black GSXR 750 #25 - White Ford Van).

bacolmm Posted July 23, 2015 Report Share Posted July 23, 2015 Both days were pretty good for me. I wanted to make it down into the 1:40's on Monday and the 1:39's on Tuesday, which I was able to do. Was hoping to go quicker but my day ended 3 sessions early on Tuesday when I stripped a pinch bolt on my forks trying to get some fresh tires on. Still working on trying to remove that bolt...

RHill Posted July 24, 2015 Report Share Posted July 24, 2015 John....just caught the video.....damn!!! Looks like you were in just a little too tight early on 12....never even thought about that situation before. Some turns inside curbing can be pretty nasty, but most of Mid-O is pretty smooth transition on/off the curb. I know T2 at PIRC North can be like a small jump, upsetting the bike pretty close to what happened with you. Sorry about the crash and I hope you are starting to recover. Take it easy longer than you think you need to... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
F4iguy Posted July 25, 2015 Author Report Share Posted July 25, 2015 Moral of the story - stay off the curbing. I was getting obsessed with hitting apexes perfectly and may have been getting too close a few times. I know coming out of the keyhole I was clipping the curbing more than a few times.Thanks to all for their well wishes. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jschaf Posted July 25, 2015 Report Share Posted July 25, 2015 Get well soon. I've got a lumpy collarbone myself & I know it's not pleasant & takes a while. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jbot Posted July 27, 2015 Report Share Posted July 27, 2015 That is definitely not the worst that bike has had it, have no fear! John, hope you feel better buddy. I'll text you later. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Limitedslip7 Posted August 3, 2015 Report Share Posted August 3, 2015 The weather for Tuesday/Wednesday is looking good, any chance they will have some of the Indy rubber cleaned up by then? Any damage to the track? I'm thinking Wednesday... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ludwb675 Posted August 3, 2015 Report Share Posted August 3, 2015 I'm in for Wed along with 1 or 2 others from my work. Hoping the Tuesday crowd will clean up the track pretty well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
what Posted August 3, 2015 Report Share Posted August 3, 2015 I'm signed up for novice on Wednesday. Going to ride the bike up though unless someone from Columbus is trailering up and doesn't mind letting me tag along. Pretty sure between my tank bag and backpack I can fit everything I'll need though. Track virgin. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

trae Posted August 4, 2015 Report Share Posted August 4, 2015 Should be there in the morning to do my first day this season there. Been way too long for me (almost year) since I was on track there. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

what Posted August 5, 2015 Report Share Posted August 5, 2015 Great day in the novice group minus one little mishap (lowside) on turn 11 in the first session after lunch. The guy was fine from what I understand... not his bike though. I guess he grabbed a fist-full of front brake mid-turn and tucked the front. Killed my chicken strips dead and seem to have gotten some decent lines down around the track. I'll definitely be buying a number of vouchers this winter and probably a dedicated track bike. Everyone else's day go well I hope? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ludwb675 Posted August 6, 2015 Report Share Posted August 6, 2015 I had another great day yesterday. Tied my personal best of 1:49.2 with a couple others in the 49's. I was consistently in the 50/51's all afternoon which is an improvement over last time. I felt like my front was sliding a lot though. I had two big pucker moments, one in 9 and had to clean my pants out after the one in 11. Right before the hill crest it slid and i really though i was going down. I let off the gas some (not chop) and don't know if that is what your suppose to do but i came out shiny side up. There was not one crash in intermediate all day. I really though there was zero for all groups until i read his statement above. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
