Thanks all the NESBA people for a great weekend at Beaverun. Perfect (0K a little to hot.....) weather Saturday.
Had a very good time on the track and in the paddock. And manage to lower my PB with 5 Sec (yes, 5 sec) on Saturday.
Thanks to all the guy's (like Dennis, Rich, Big Jim and others) that "towed" me around, and a special thanks to Rob that helped me with my race line so I could get the 5 sec. Great Saturday.
Sunday. Good start. And a perfect 2nd sessison. 7 laps in the laptimer. All -02 or -03.....Yeay........ Then...............
My radiator started to leak. AGAIN......Grrrr.. It's only 7 weeks old......
So......what to do. Of course......My wife has a bike.....and teched for A class too (huuummm....had problems with my bike before...was prepared) And she was so kind to let me have it for a session. BUT............... Forgot to lower the tire pressure....
and on Q2............
So of course. A highsider in the carousel. And on a 600....Must be a world record. Embarrasing :banghead:........Went ballistic....and when when coming back to earth......The fxxxxxg bike hit me kind of hard. And found myself in the middle of the track. Nice......not so.......Tried to stand up and run....but my left foot didn't agree to that. So, I crawled on my hands and knees to the grass. Super good help from all to get me and Marias bike back to the paddock.
Kind of embarring coming back. Lot of people, and I had crashed my wifes bike..... Not fun, felt like an idiot..:banghead:
But all were very helpful. Thanks a lot, and very few commented the fact about who's bike....
Down+ to the hospital. Kind of fun. They were all kind of very boring, but when I told then I had been at Beaverun, they were very nice.......
So, now home in bed. 3 broken bones in my left foot. 1 broken bone in my left hand. My right side is VERY soar, and my left butt side.............Huuunnn will take some time before I can sit normal. And I was supposed to go to Chcago 6 AM tomorrow.....
Tormorrow, the hospital again and get a cast or two. And cancel VIR in 3 weeks. And get to the local bike dealer and get parts for Marias bike so she can drive at VIR. But I will there any how.
Right now, Maria is not that pissed at me, but she was so close to get bumped to I, so now.....I have to pay her a lot in many ways to make her happy.....:adore:
For all of you that helped Maria to load the bikes and pack everything. Thanks a lot. I don't know how it was, but I know that
Dennis (the guy next to us in the paddock)
Chris (Cpt America)
Nancy (Jacks wife)
Alex (Chicago if I remember right)
And if I have missed any, thanks to you too.
Big Jim, did you get the incident on film ?
Again, I had a great weekend.
