You were hustling that old girl around pretty damn well!

So sorry to hear this John. I'll miss chatting with Terry in your pit. RIP

That'd be my Type 1. If it were happening conistently in a corner, I'd either be cussing out whoever dropped oil or looking at my setup. Unless I were setting track records.

It only really happens when I'm off line and either pushing hard or on crap pavement. But we'll talk! I'm too quick to blame my riding in general.

I spent a year refusing to believe that I needed more trail on a 675, the result being I got very used to the front tucking on me. Now that I've fixed the problem, I've got more feel for what's going on. I think a good tire is critical to give you the feel and to make it so that you have almost...

Read your (hopefully non hypothetical) policy - it may exclude damages caused by illegal activity or some such. If it is covered, I'd expect it to get much more difficult to (hypothetically) get various forms of liability insurance in the future. Barring hypothetical 'material...

Man, I don't know if you want his kidney or liver! Good work, Ed - it was good racing with you.

Sorry to hear this. I hope you both come back in a year or two.

Another thing for the OP to keep in mind - most people don't 'Xaus' their bikes as often as Trent does. :saythat: Yeah, on the track you're more likely to push your limits than the street so you're more likely to crash, but that risk can be managed too. Of my 7 crashes on track since 2002, 5...

They couldn't pass tech? Either they couldn't find a roll of painter's tape or their bike was about to fall apart. Or maybe they wanted to ride the track wearing a half-helmet with a spike on top?

Nope, we can't get in until 7:00 Saturday morning.

Yep, 'though I've gotta say, if you do this a while you start getting a strange definition of fine. "Oh, he's fine, just a broken collarbone." doesn't quite sound right to normal people these days for some reason. ;)
