I thought I should post these here, especially since the "legs" are from a fellow racer and frequent member here (thanks Ben !).
These are from my last track day back in November. I just had finished a lot of things on my bike (new suspension front and back, new front calipers, brake lines f & r, new lighter rims --> best money ever spent too !!! and a few other bits and stuff).
Anyway, I was at the track for a 3-day track day and my intention was to first of all set the bike's suspension and then try to attack my times.
I had spent half of the first day just to set up the front end and the rest of the day to set up the rear and also found a good peg position (new pegs).
Soooo, first day was mostly spent going in and out of the pits. Not a bad thing when you get results you like though
.
Unfortunately enough, a little before the end of day1, I went out on my worn tyres (they had a race in them from August, and I was just using them for the set-up session) and since I had the suspension just perfectly dialed in.... well I had a nice high speed low side on turn 3.
Hopefully the sliders (fork, swingarm and frame) did what they were supposed to do and I got away with a broken clip-on, a lever less and a broken left peg. Not bad I'd say, not bad at all. Oh and some damage on the left fairing (repairable though).
On to the pics then and sorry for the lengthy intro
. But at least a new lesson learned: DON'T use worn tyres, not even at "set-up/try-out" sessions. I wasn't even at the slightest pushing for a time then but anyway... lesson learned
Hope you enjoy.
