bummer! Judging by those photos you must have been hooning around!

Anyway; a bike dropped on the track is the way to do it

Glad to hear that there was no major damage to you or the bike, your first track day off Luke?

What a pi55er. Although I think you got off lucky as its mostly replacable bits. Doesnt look like a great deal of frame scratching on it too - bit of touch up here and there maybe??

... & Welcome to the pebble dash club!

Yep - First off ever - track or road. I had a pretty good run on trackdays. Lost count but this was number 15 or 16, so a pretty good run.

Parts aren't a massive problem - i costed up replacing everything with OEM from a US Triumph fiche and the final score was $2500 USD! yay! I'll order the 3 bits to get me road legal again and then just keep and eye on ebay. I already found a replacement side panel, which is one of the worst bits and will just buy bits as and when they pop up

You clumsy muppet.

At least it's easily repairable and you walked away.

Hey, haven't seen you around these parts for a while - everything cool? The falling off club sucks! It's for those who have money to burn or don't mind a scarred bike. Unfortunately, I'm neither

It's not so bad. I have managed to get most things - shame I just need the expensive bits - front fairing, rear fairing and a tank, though all are cosmetic, so I can just wait for them to appear at the right price!

At the end of the day, I accept that this might happen - it's part of going on the track in the first place.
