    I’ve followed 2 people through Hogpen@VIR that did that in front of me. It was motivation to always leave a little tiny margin in that corner..

    Headstock went on the wall, engine was saved, rest was tossed in the dumpster.

    I felt the same as the bike looked.

    That wall in T2 has eaten a number of bikes. Was this before they moved it back?

    It was the summer before they moved it. I ended up on the guardrail, behind the airfence and everything.

    tiggen Things are lookin' up.

    T1 @ RA, I group of NESBA, chasing an RC51. It was an 04 CBR600RR, on well worn and heat-cycled street tires. Lost the front, and I remember thinking, "I can save this," before tumbling half way to the fence. I do remember standing up, running over to the tires, and flopping up on them. Don't remember the flashy box ride to infield care center.

    Copy of ra_crash_2.jpg

    As bike hit the dirt, frame slider caught and sent the bike flipping, radiator fill cap came off spewing steam into cloud of GA red clay dust. The dust particles embedded in the frame, no amount of power washing got rid of it.

    And now I get to gross my kids out with my bent pinky finger.

    Infield right-hander at Tally, 2nd practice of Feb race, lost a foot peg and a clip on. 2nd gen Ninja 250. ESS FTW!

    20250420_093245.jpg

    This was my second of two provisional weekends, the first being Nashville at the end of the previous season, where I crashed on a wet track on a rented 3rd gen 250 in the mock race and shredded my orange shirt. So, two crashes in two weekends, and WERA still gave me a license!

    Iirc, I started 1st and finished 3rd... of three. I was not good on a motorcycle.

    Road Atlanta. GA red clay....don't have that up here in cheeseland. And I can confirm, that stuff embeds itself in everything when you crash.

    This was a Track Day, Blackhawk farms.
    The Pro photographer caught the whole sequence of pic of the crash.

    I rode the rest of the sessions, and the next day with a broken rib from the crash. I was hurting

    The bike had little damage.

    Then I decided to do some break dancing while I was at it.
