Well went out to Putnam to do a NESBA event. Went well for the first 6 sessions, but had a little boo boo in the 7th session. Everything was going great, I was dragging knees, riding smooth, then wammo! low side! For those familiar with Putnam it was in turn 7. Actually exiting turn 7. Worst case was that the last lap of the session. Should have cooled down a tad. I was standing it back up and the rear just went away. Next thing I know I am looking at the Indiana blue sky. Speed was probably ~45mph. Best guesses where either A) tires went out (they were just stockers) B) throttle kicked it out C) god hates me.
Damage to me is minor, sore elbow and hip. Probably will hurt more tomorrow. Alpinestars suit did its job well, no holes. Amazingly the $600 Arai helmet has not a scratch. Probably will have it sent in to Arai to be checked anyway.
Sato sliders did their job. Thank god I put them on last winter. Bike damage is right Jardine pipe, rear break lever, clip broken in half, right sato slider, right turn signal, right mag engine cover. Probably more to discover tomorrow.
Still had a great time. Have a winter project now. Pics tomorrow.
