donny trackday pics part 2(not pretty these)
« on: July 27, 2008, 08:50:44 AM »

well i was having a great time till i did this





at the first bend,honestly didn't feel like i did anything wrong,i was mid bend off the throttle & the back end went
got on board footage too & still can't see what went wrong
but hey its happened
but one thing i noticed was the amount of spinning up the rear was doing(see pic)
tyre guys there reckon the rear was past its best :dontknow:
got em off ebay & they'd already done a couple of track days,but hey........i'm not making excuses here [whistle]
damage looks worse than it actually is but that fookin gravel makes a right mess
all panels damaged
bent clutch/brake levers
broken rear brake lever
bent exhaust
so not too bad as she still works/runs fine

me tho..................took a knock to me swede but my shoei did its job(fooked now tho)
badly sprained wrist & left ankle(still bandaged up)
sore groin
bit of gravel rash on my hand as my gloves decided to rip in two
leathers & boots holed & scuffed
tell ya wot tho,nothing prepares u for when u hit the gravel trap
ya get hit about like yr in the ring with mike tyson :boxing:

Glad you're relatively ok  :icon_thumright:

Yeah the gravel doesn't half slow you down doesn't it...like running into a brick wall
