How to break your scapula

Messing around at the Cornerspeed M.A.D days. Watch from 7:00.

What happened? You appeared to be upright and getting ready to tip in for the left hander but just decided to throw it down????

 

Lets see if you guys can figure it out. What do you think? It was a mechanical I'll say that much.

 

As you tipped in the front wheel lifted?

 

You tube says stuck throttle. What do I win?

 

Hahaha!!! Very nice. I didn't think far enough ahead about a prize but know this. Don't forget to lube/replace your throttle cables at least once a year. :up:

 

Good PSA. Get well soon!

 

Redline is at 14,000

Throttle stuck?

 

I shift when my bike stops making power. The rest is just over rev to me. But we all have different ways of doing the same thing.

The throttle sticking was all my fault. I should have done a better PMCS before riding this bike. Painful expensive lesson.

 

that sucks for the next 4 months! heal up fast!

 

It wasn't a stuck throttle.

Obviously, your droopy Akropo front brake master cylinder sock caused this crash. Time to get yourself some sponsorship from Spanx.

 

That zook makes power all the way to 12,800 -13,000.

I don't think the throttle stuck.

 

What do you think happened?

 

No idea, looked like bike was, looked to me like the fornt end tucked. Either something on the track or tire not up to temp while picking the bike up and rolling off throttle a bit. Can't see a stuck throttle in this situation.

 

Ooof, that hurt.

Go slow with the scapula. I broke two ribs and the scapula at Mid-Ohio in July. I finally started sleeping through the night about a week ago. Ice is your friend.

 

i sort of agree. you dont hear it rev until after its going sideways. crap on the track. youre still not even rolling on. i guess it could have stuck at one spot. not wot. but seems like youd grab the clutc and hit the kill switch straight up and down. then pull off. instead of tossing yourself onto the ground like that.

i was half expecting to see someone slide over those killer gator teeth. then the reopening of that debate!

haha

 

Ice! Right I will start using more of it.

 

Glad you're ok-ish! Hope the bike is too... Get well soon.
