haha

Only the crash bung touched down on the tarmac so not a scratch on the bodywork, where the bolt bent split part of the fairing though. Gear level is bent and the marshal dropped it in the van so the lhs tail section is cracked. Could have been a lot worse the bike wouldn't start when I got it back to the paddock.

Would have been p*ssed about the guy in the van - thats just careless. Glad the bung saved the day again.

In reterospect I would have been but I was more worried about the bike initially not starting plus the damage behind all the mud.

However now is a good oppurtunity to add to my collection of broken parts to use as a trackday fairing and replace the broken bits with new/newish parts for the road.

So what happened?

Low sided here:

Went into the corner too hot dragging the brake and the front end went at the apex. Completely misjudged the approach to the corner due to overconfidence and lack of concentration due to lack of sleep last night before. The alarm bells didn't go off in my head otherwise I would of stood the bike up and rode onto the grass. I didn't grab the front brake at any time I had it held at about 3/10 (or so I thought) possible braking into the apex until next thing I knew I was looking at the sky then doing backflip landing on my head.

Nasty. If you can think quickly enough to stand the bike up instead I'll be impressed! Were you going a good pace compared to the rest of the riders?

[Zombie Jesus]

I knew I was going too fast 2-3 seconds before turning in just didn't react to it properly. I was no faster than anyone else coming out of corners, took the longest straights to eventually claw past the 600s. I was usually faster into corners and later on the brakes than most in my group over the 2 and a bit sessions though depending on what corner. I'm generally better at long fast right handers.

A pic some random guy took of me in the paddock:

Were you with all the other SV.org members?

[Demonz]

Ah its not to bad - just looks like an elephant took a dump on your bike.

yeah, a couple of gsxr owners helped reset the fuel pump because I had no idea. Something was wrong with the gearbox aswell as it wasn't in gear or in neutral and it had to be pushed back and forth until whatever was wrong clicked back in.
