my wreck at the track.

went down coming out of turn 4 at texas world speedway. broke my left collar bone and got some rash on my right 4arm other then that i am alright. the bike has a bent frame, i think, the swing arm is bent the clutch over is gone along with the clutch and everything else on the right side. rear tire just lost grip and washed out. i am sure that a more experienced rider could have saved it but i don't have that much track time under my belt. give me eight weeks and i will be back out on the track again.

That sucks hope you heal up soon.

On the other hand thats kind of a cool pic in a sick and twisted way
you know it's ok to let go of the bike when you crash

hahha eveyone that saw that pic at the track said that same thing. i don't think i was holding onto it though. i hit that hump on the outside of the turn and kinda moved me and the bike around and i think it just makes it look like i am holding on. i dunno i might have held on.

i did get the chance to meet some really cool people from the board out there also dhrider, kawijim, g-man and someothers, so that was cool. hope to see you guys out there again.

are those Pilot Powers on that bike? I can't really tell by the picture.

yeah, i had ordered a set of power races, new pads, chain, and spockets from kneedraggers.com and all i got was the chain and spockets before the track day, but i did get the new tires and pads today, i'll save them for when i put my bike back togeather.

Kevin gets the top prize for the most damage incurred to a RC51 during a low-side at TWS and believe me I am one experienced camper in that dept.

haha thanks Gorden. i am not sure thats a prize i wanted to take home though.
here are the pics that i took today.

just clean the dirt off give Dan Kyle a CC # and open up a tab

sweet, one sided exhaust and you went down on that side, chit!

That suks....best of luck man.

Dude, you never told me you put a dry clutch on that thing!

Seriously, sorry for your loss. I went out to watch some of the sessions of group C and it looked like you guys were having fun. I know the 1st timer we brought w/ us on that RC said he had a great time following you guys...

no sliders i dont know if they would have help much though. the main thing i was worried about was my ohlins forks, i just put them on and i really didn't want to mess em up.

i am hoping that i will be able to be active in about 2 weeks and heal up fast so i can get back out on the track in august.

Kevin, that sucks man. Now you need to sell me those Ohlins forks so you can fix your bike. Hope your collar bone heals fast.

Man, I missed that one hope they are still cool but your rear looks like a stocker?

Kevin,
It was nice meeting ya. I've crashed in 4 myself. That fence that looks like it is far enough away, really isn't. I hope you heal up fast & if you need ANYTHING PM me.

If your interested I know the owner of GDM in Texas. They MAY be able to straighten that frame. Let me know.

John
