I was like damn that dude corners low. Then he almost ran Over his own Leg. LoL.
Glad u are going to be ok Ben!
Heal fast.

Ride safe,
AAron

 

did his foot stop the rear wheel? ouch

 

Looks like his peg or rearset broke off. In the slo-mo you can definitely see something depart the bike.

 

Who Levered Ben's footpeg????



Get well soon, Ben!

 

There has to be some explanation as to why his foot came off. Ouch! Best wishes Ben! Excellent avoidance skills Shannon!

 

I think it was the toe slider off the boot...

 

I think this is what happened too.

 

His explanation on Facetubes: "PS, I lost the rear while giving it gas... Hazards of riding a powerful a 1000. My feet didn't slip off the pegs"

 

Looking at that in SLowmo it was the opposite of above.... Hope he heals up well....

 

That is actually the Formula 1 race.

 

I've always safety wired the foot peg bolt (Vortex) after having mine come loose even with loctite. Toe guard did it's job or bound him up?

 

Shannon, I see you still like to follow people till the last lap. lol i wish i could have been there. i will see you guys soon tho .

 

You coming to Roebling next month? I'll be re-joining the fray starting then. Just now getting the bike completely together and my hand functioning properly.

 

im not sure yet , when i will get to race this year . i hope soon , but i have a lot going on outside of racing right now . i am going nuts ,jonesing for some tracktime

 

I have had a foot peg bracket break and I crashed because of it.. sucks.

I don't have mine on video, but it was exactly the same as this. I change the brackets more often now, even when they have not hit the pavement I swap them every season. Cheap insurance.

 

that peg totally broke off. That has to be so scary and unfair!

 

damn, sure LOOKS like the peg broke. That would suck

 

Dang! Foot to the sprocket, OUCH!

 

Without a doubt that peg snapped. I've seen it happen in that same place with a set of Gilles at one of our track days.
